  DuckDuckGo is, in my opinion after a lot of use, an inferior search engine to Google overall but thank god it doesn’t force AI bullshit on me.

    I've found DDG and Google have become of fairly equal quality lately, although I think it's mainly due to Google getting worse rather than DDG getting significantly better

    I honestly don’t think it’s inferior, but it does deliver different results and does so in a different manner.

    Google is far superior for shopping however.

    That was my experience a few years ago. I would find myself first searching in DDG then using the g! or SP! search bangs to use Google or startpage. However, I have not needed that in at least a year or two. DDG now pretty much meets all my search needs.

      What DDG doesn’t seem to do well is search a term which includes an exact match phrase. What I mean is this.

      If I search in DDG for ‘eyepatchcheetah “That was my experience a few years ago.”’ it will give me a bunch of unrelated results with all of those words but not necessarily in that order, but if I put that into Google, this thread would be more likely to be at the top. This is a way I search for things quite often, so it’s kind of annoying to have to go back to Google to do those sorts of searches.

    I’m keeping my eye on Kagi. About to start a trial. If it’s good, I think it’d be refreshing to pay for it.

    If DDG doesn’t work, try !g to automatically send you to Google with the same query. Its handy for situations where DDG can’t find something.

    There’s also !yt by the way.

      I use !wt (Wiktionary) and !gi (Google Images) surprisingly often.

    I really tried my best with DDG, but I absolutely hated it. I’m back on Google search until I can find something better

      Self host SearxNG or find a cheap provider for it and never look back

      Give kagi a shot, it’s paid service, but they have a 100 search trial
