&gt; 2) I suspect that the difference in search results may partly be conditioned responses. We are accustomed to what we find through Google, so when DDG presents something that looks different<p>It&#x27;s not just that.<p>When you search with DDG you may need to structure your search differently than you would do when searching with Google.<p>People are just so accustomed to using Google-optimized search queries that they don&#x27;t even consider that they are Google-optimized and thus they don&#x27;t realize how unreasonable they are when they expect Google-optimized queries to yield equal or better results in non-Google products.<p>Let me put it the other way: If I use my regular DDG search-terms in Google I get poorer results than I get in DDG, is that Google&#x27;s fault?
