I've been using DDG as my default search engine now for over a year and 95% of the time it's great. It's main failure in my hands it trying to find obscure scientific literature or bleeding edge/just published scientific literature. Anyone else have this problem? I assume it's because the goog has goog scholar and so spent years building a massive scientific journal article database. What I don't get is the lack of same-day/week search results for an exact scientific article title with DDG.
- tgv 6y agoSearch results seem to have worsened around a year ago. Nowadays, when I can't find what I want, I often end up on google, which then frequently does find it. A bit annoying.
