      Google is the default. How can you say that duckduckgo has good results if you dont compare them to google. Trash diagram.

        Fully agree.

        We don’t even know what search query was used either, and what the criteria was used to grade seach engine.

        DDG’s results are perfectly fine to me - however for best results you shouldn’t structure search queries in the same way you would for Google

        IMO trying Google after using ddg for a couple years just shows some big weaknesses in the quality of Google’s results. Fake SEO clone sites et al ☹️

          Maybe that’s why ddg doesnt click with me.
          How do i use ddg for technical questions that need some obscure forum posts from 15 years ago? I obly get stackoverflow and windows forums. Those arent helpful at all.

      They’re the worst in terms of being the panopticum, but I don’t understand how easy it is to buy data from them.
