Can't agree. Almost always when DDG has only spam or useless results, !g gives me exactly what I looked for. I like DDG, especially the bangs, but Google still gives me way better results when I need them.


Out of curiosity, what are some examples? You can also submit feedback directly in the results, which the DDG team uses to improve their algorithms.


Just had an extremely horrendous example. Searching for "webpack 3" the first link doesn't mention "webpack" at all, only packweb and generally it's an absolutely useless result page.

Can you screenshot your results please, because mine are all webpack related.

But yeah, saw that I had south africa enabled. Still makes little sense but explains a bit why the result is so weird.


IIRC most commonly it's coding related stuff.
