!g yeah, goodbye and hello google.

  My experience exactly. I switch completely over to DDG, and ended up switching back after I realised I was starting so many queries with !g it made no sense at all.

    Can you please give some examples of queries that aren't working for you? https://duckduckgo.com/feedback.html https://duckduckgo.com/feedback.html That will really help us improve.

      "Best search engine" https://duckduckgo.com/?q=best+search+engine https://duckduckgo.com/?q=best+search+engine No where on that list is Duck Duck go. Obviously that query is not working well. I was expecting an easter egg javascript game of some sort. Or a clever witticism on how cool ducks are. But alas...

    You don't get the same "quality" of answers from DDG. That's by design. Since Google tracks your searches, you always get what Google thinks you prefer, or what Google knows makes most benefit for them. If you use DDG this is different. Thats the whole point about it IMHO. With DDG, if I am not sloppy and really try to find the best search string, I usually get my answers on page one. Not as the first item though. This only shows that the net is much more diverse than big G makes it look like.

      On the contrary, I consider "personalised" search results to be of lower quality.
