I use ddg because of their hacker-centric features like a nice python api, !bang search, and their "goodies". Plus their plugin allows you to add their 0-click results to google searches. I agree, google is a better product, but I've found that I only have to use them supplement my searches. ddg makes it easy to do that. I just add "!g" in front of my query and my search is sent to google. They are definitely a work in progress, and I cannot wait for their product to mature.
- OafTobark 13y agoAre there instances you've found where bang search isn't covered by Chrome's built in site search?
- schrodingersCat 13y agoYes. For instance, if i wanted to search for ways to compute a cross product in python, i could just type in "!numpy cross product" and directly search the numpy project page for an answer, without having to first navigate to numpy (I could also search stackexchange by "!sx"). I'm not saying this replaces the features of chrome entirely, but I have found it helpful for my needs. YMMV...
