Have you set the localization to whatever language you are searching in? At least for German it has been working well that way IMO

I have no idea how I missed that! For those unaware there's a little toggle just beneath the search bar - and yes, it did improve the results! Thanks!

That has been one reason why I prefer DDG to google since day 1; I can tell it to give me stuff from my region, or just international. Considering I use the internet in english 98% of the time but occasionally need something specific to Germany, that's very useful indeed :D

Google used to have the same feature a long long time ago, in fact I'd have sworn that DDG copied it from google.

Holy crap, missed by me too. It was set correctly but wasn’t turned on. Thanks.
