Every few months I read on HN how much more accurate DDG searches are than they used to be, I try it for a day, I get frustrated, and I return to Google.
There's no benefit to !g if you use it for 4 out of 5 searches.
- Semaphor 6y agoCould you give some example searches? I always read this, but I have far below 10% of my searches with !g
- ZephyrBlu 6y agoSeconded. This polarization between "it's good" and "it's shit" is very hard to understand.
- gen3 6y agoI think part of it has to do with the “style” people use to search. I’ve found searching DDG with how I searched google in 2010 to work well. Modern “magic” google searches don’t work as well, it’s more throwing key words together.
