I am sorry to say this, but I have been trying to move to DDG for a while now. Its currently my default search where ever I can make it a default search, and frankly, for me, it's pretty much useless. Most results point to US sites, and in most of my search cases, thats no good. Unless my search is incredibly simple, I end up back on google.co.uk. OK, ethics wise, I don't like google one little bit, but in the end, google gives me useful results. DDG rarely does.

I simply do not know how people, and there is a lot of them, come to the conclusion that DDG results are in any way better than google, apart from the fact that DDG is not google. It would not totally surprise me if people were more making do with DDG because its not google to make a point, and as a result being over generous about its utility.

Maybe for Americans, DDG does give better results, I cant say, but I'd like to know on what criteria that is based. But for me, a non American, like I say, DDG is regrettably mostly useless.

You know their web results are from Bing, right?
