I've also travelled the same path. I do like that there is no filter bubble[1]. Unfortunately sometimes it would be best if they did take location into account - a search for The Greek (a restaurant in my home town of Santa Cruz CA) gives me results that aren't close to useful. Fortunately a !g added to the search term fixes that. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble

If you know that DDG doesn't have a filter bubble, why don't you just append your search with "santa cruz"?

  Because I would expect geographical answers to take location into account. Also the towns around here all run together so knowing exactly which one to use is quite hard. Using Google for well over a decade means I am used to typing as little as possible to get results. Filter bubbles are more relevant to searches for BP, Egypt etc.

    "Because I would expect geographical answers to take location into account" Then why are you using DDG?
