DuckDuckGo works a higher percentage of the time than Google does for me, with a lot less visual clutter, advertising, or underhanded attempts to trick me. YMMV. (Though I would still prefer have Google search from ca. 2005–2010.) In particular, > highly optimized results for complex search queries Google has gotten almost completely worthless for these, but unfortunately no other search engine does a good job with them at this point either.
