Part of the issue for me is that what I’ve learned from searching with google for so long might not translate to DDG very well.
A real-world example from work recently is the query “vertical flexbox animation css”. In DDG, 0/5 of the top results are about animations and flexbox. They are just generic flexbox documentation. If I search the same phrase with google, 4/5 of the top results are about animations and flexbox. And I would think that CSS is a relatively popular technology compared to some things I could be thinking about!
This happens to me with so many queries throughout the day, that I often end up using !g whenever I have a technical-ish query because the top results are usually a lot more relevant.
Maybe you are right, and I just need to phrase that better, but most permutations of that string don’t return much clearer results.
