I use DDG but homestly it not much better as far as quality of results go. To me it feels like DDG has gone out of its way to copy Googles shitty algorithm.

- touristtam 6y agoI have the same impression. Not only the searches are more and more returning the most recent results, but often returns sets of result that aren't domain specific or plain ignoring keywords. The market seems to be primed to have a competitor with a better filtering algorithm to sort out the actual content from the hip and junk.
- mandevil 6y agoDDG doesn't run its own crawlers- it has a contract with Bing for that. DDG is a privacy-protecting wrapper around core Bing search.
- s_dev 6y agoDDG search results are far worse than Google. It's not remotely as good at search. However 90% of my searches are trivial -- DDG will find what I'm looking for. For the remaining 10% I'll switch to Google and the result will pop up. This is a decent compromise as someone trying to wean themselves off Google.
