I use DDG and think it does a great job, at least as good as google these days. There are certainly times that it falls short when compared with other search engines, but at that point I just use bangs and that effectively solves any problems I have had with it.

How do we find information these days? I still default to my search engine, which is often google. I moonlight over to DDG often, but usually an operating system upgrade gets me back on Google for a while.

Duckduckgo is basically just bing results. But, I still use it for the bangs and lessened tracking. Being able to search any engine from the same search bar is remarkably convenient.

I used to just use Google but add reddit to the end of the search, and it’d usually pick up several relevant posts/conversations that would have the answer I wanted somewhere in the comments. I’ll still keep doing that for a while probably, but given how reddit has been going, and with people erasing their accounts, I doubt that will last long. I’m holding out hope for a good search functionality on lemmy, since reddits own search was pretty unusable.
