I used DDG for a few weeks and I'm glad I did because I'd forgotten just how good Google is. A few things that DDG made clear was:
1) How useful personalized search actually is. I like that my search engine knows what city I live in so when Googling the name of a restaurant I don't have to include it (that I don't live in an American city might emphasize this).
2) How much speed and responsiveness matter in web design (not to mention autocomplete). Searching google is a much, much smoother experience.
DDG is really good at returning a good result for a really general search term like "C++". However, for me at least, that is an extreme edge case.
- ordinary 15y agoI'm a C++ programmer and that's actually the thing I miss most: DDG does not know the difference between 'C' and 'C#' and 'C++'.
