On the other hand, I don't understand why you would be searching for those results on a general search engine.
If I search for "Chinese", I explicitly don't want restaurant results (I would have specified that).
If I search for "earthquake", I explicitly don't want news results (I would have specified that).
The fact that Google makes assumptions about what I want rarely benefits me.
- thrownaway2424 13y agoRight this points out one of the differences between the two. Google has instant results that appear while you type so when I wanted Chinese food I started typing and just stopped when Google results appeared relevant which was actually at "chine" but momentum carried me to the end of the word. On DDG you have to make the effort to estimate the marginal utility of further typing because you don't get the results until you submit the query. If you don't like the result the iteration cycle is slower on DDG.
