Living in Turkey, I can tell that Google returns way better search results to my queries about local stuff. DuckDuckGo in the other hand, has a lot of search tooling (goodies) and returns more relevant stuff when I search something more general or technical. My search engine defaults to DuckDuckGo, with the exception of local queries, which I dispatch to Google.
- narozik 13y agoI concur that duckduckgo has still room for improvement in the local search area. It has already improved since I switched but I still find myself having trouble finding some local relevant results. To me this is still an improvement over google always directing me to a localized version of their search and forcing me to tricks to get the global google web search. And if ddg fails short, I can bang to another search engine or use the address bar to try my search elsewhere.
- gkya 13y agoPersonally, I have a whole lot of search engines I use with the Chrom(e|ium) omnibar: tra\t for google translate, !m\t for linux.die.net/man/ !g for google, !w\t for wikipedia and !d for duckduckgo. If I do not use any 'bangs', the search is dispatched to DDG. (\t for tab) Even though I do not consider google harmful or hostile, centralizing all my access to info in one search provider sounds like a bad idea.
