- lostmsu 8y agoHuh, surprisingly for me it was the opposite. I tried to switch to DDG 4,3,2 years ago, eventually coming back to Google due to the need to use !g very often. But in the last year or so it became a non-issue, so I finally switched.
- delian66 8y agoSame with me - I use DDG for my main search engine for the last year or so, and do a g! search about a dozen times per month since.

DDG and Verbatim-mode Google searches are pretty equivalent, in my experience. Google seems better because it makes the assumption that what you "really" want is what everyone else wanted, which is annoying when it's actually getting it wrong. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12045959 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12045959
