Me too. DDG is still not as good on certain searches, but most of the time it's perfectly adequate.

You are correct. I tried DDG before but it just isn’t good enough. I have been trying the new you.com search engine for a couple of months and it is really good, more so if you are in tech and your searches are work related.

Same, I've found you.com much more useful than DDG, especially for code related searches. Been using it for a month and haven't gone back.

One day I hope either ddg becomes good, or a good alternative pops up.

DDG is pretty good, it just requires a bit more context on average. As using a search engine is a lot about knowing the right choice of keywords it takes some time to adjust to the differences. Waiting for another random search engine that works exactly like Google is gonna take a while.

I still find what I need, that's all I care about. And I can't remember seeing a pinterest link on the first page.

Frequently, I search ddg, fail to find what I'm looking for, and then search Google. Or don't bother searching ddg on a certain kind of search because I know it won't find it. Both Google and DDG are mediocre versions of 2010 Google.

So DDG (bing) doesn't list these sites OP mentioned?

It’s less the DDG/Bing is good and more that Google is declining.

How does switching to DDG / Bing help? You would only get worse results.

All I’m saying is I switched my default search on my phone and browser to ddg (just to try it out) and the results have been good enough to not make me switch back to google.

DDG is a necessarily inferior product.
