Did you set your location? I also though the results were pretty bad until I told ddg my location.

Damn, that seems to actually work well! Thanks! I'll try it out more over the coming days, looks promising.

It's a good UX quandary too: if there's information that improves the primary user intent (queries) that's privacy-sensitive (e.g. location), what's the most ethical way to permit the user to voluntarily submit that?
