DDG is unusable for all the most basic of searches. They would be better off if they added google search functionality like Startpage.
DDG is shit

The fact that it doesn't work without JavaSHIT didn't tip you off?

It really has become trash but I still keep it as my default. Adding "!g" to the query helps a lot.
Josiah Watson
Same, although I mostly go for !sp, cuz I hate that full page "we care about your privacy" nonsense. I will never click accept, I will turn off each cookie setting manually.
William Thompson
its all seo crap
Cooper Johnson
isn't DDG just scraping results from Google and Yahoo with an API and removing ads/tracking?
Carter Murphy

The internet is enormous. Search pages return results in under a second. How long does it take to find a file on your computer? to lie to yourself that search engines are even theoretically possible is pathetic.
Grayson Sanders
Cool I don't care
Blake Kelly
no, but startpage.com does that, their privacy policy says no tracking and all, and they just scrape google results. might be worth a try.
Nathaniel Fisher
Using startpage barely change the garbage results since the problem is google itself making the search less effective

>>Tries using quotation marks, doesn't work
yeah, i don't get this. shouldn't the quotation marks make it work? and yet it doesn't. why anyone swears by DDG i will never understand.
