I was surprised to read an article on DDG in a mainstream (albeit liberal) german newspaper "Die Zeit". It's getting press.
At the same time, I've tried http://www.hotbot.com http://www.hotbot.com again (last time I tried it perhaps 10 years ago) and I was quite pleased with the search results. So yes, there definitely is a world outside of Google. And it's working well.
But who else has GMail, Documents, Maps, Cache, Translate.. that's a major advantage for the #1.
- TazeTSchnitzel 15y agoBing. Microsoft has Hotmail, Skydrive, Bing Maps, Cache, Translate and tons more.
- moondowner 15y agoThe point was, who else has a good search engine and also offers other services. I don't recall Bing as a good search engine. And additionally, there are better services than Hotmail (like Gmail), Skydrive (like Google Docs), etc etc..
- BCM43 15y agoSerious question: Why would you want your search engine to be run by the same company that runs your email and cloud documents?
- moondowner 15y agoTo provide better search results?
- lookelsewhere 15y agoThe answer is, you wouldn't if you're concerned about privacy. DDG delivers decent enough results and part of their philosophy is that they claim not to track users.
- EwanToo 15y agoBing is a very good search engine, pretty much identical to Google for my searches.
- p0ss 15y agoDDG's default search is Bing.
