I agree that bangs are a killer feature of DDG, but I often see the problem of results quality brought up and I have to speak up about it. Google's search results are good because they're spying on you and they already know what you want. DDG does not do this, so you have to be more specific. If you would search Google for "django", you should search DDG for "django python" or "django framework". This is not DDG being wrong, this is you needing to relearn your habits.

I searched for Django on DDG. It alternates between results for the framework, Django (1966), and Django Unchained, getting less specific as it goes down until it shows a result for a restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa at the bottom of the first page. It keeps adding more range in as I click to new results. This is much better than how Google shows page after page of the same thing. Google assumes it got it right and you just haven't found the right site for it even if you're 100 results pages and 20 "we think you're a bot" captchas deep. DDG is not so arrogant and tries different things once it's obvious you didn't find what you were looking for or are looking for serendipity.
