I see people say this a lot and I'm curious. What sort of things do you search for? Also, have you found that you modify your search terms to get better results out of DDG?
I've been exclusively using it for over a month, and unless I'm searching for something extremely popular, DDG barely gives me half as many relevant results on the first couple pages compared to Google. Often times it will be so far off there's nothing at all relevant. Other times I'll get some good results, but I'll still feel that something is "off", so I'll add a !g and suddenly it's like a whole new world and I see way more relevant results.
I hate Google and want to stick with DDG, but I've been really wishing there was a permanent !g option.
