<i>DDG search in my experience has gotten vastly better in the past year or so.</i><p>Had the exact same impression. There are numerous threads on HN involving DDG in the last couple of years and in more than one of them I complained about the results, but slowly yet steadily there are always less reasons to complain it seems. DDG does not yet find everything as quick as I&#x27;d want it to but when my go-to would be !g in the past I&#x27;m now starting to notice I use it much less (say only 1 out of 20 searches) and when I do chances are high google won&#x27;t find what I want either, it usually just comes up with the same results but in &#x27;better&#x27; order.
