That used to be true for me & DDG, but it's happening less & less. In fact, a couple of days ago, I found a situation where Google's search results were pretty much useless, while DDG got me what I wanted. I was looking for lyrics to a song. There was some site claiming to be a lyrics search engine that appeared to have SEO'd their way to the top of Google, so a Google search for lyrics got me to ... another search engine. But DDG got me the lyrics.
Also, we should note that DDG's "!g" syntax means you never have to deal with Google's search box.
- alan_cx 13y agoSure, there must be some situations where DDG wins. But look at what you have said; in the last couple of days you have only one example of google failing you. Presumably for the rest of that time google was perfectly fine or better. Only once in that time did you have a better result from DDG. Some would call that damning with faint praise. With that ratio, the only sane conclusion is to use google. Currently DDG is my default search. But most of the time I do the DDG search, give up and repeat with google. As I say, Im trying but its not productive for me.
