    That depends very heavily on what your searching for.

    If you're a programmer or similar, like the poster you're replying to appears to be, then you absolutely will find DDG crap compared to Google.

    I use DDG as my primary search engine, but if I have a tech question, I usually skip it and go straight to Google.

      I work part-time as a game developer, and part time as a pentester, so I do search for technical questions quite a lot.

      Hmm, now I wonder whether I'm just used to it. I haven't used any other search engine in more than a year. I'll have to compare the results more, but as far as I remember every time I couldn't find what I needed on DDG and resorted to !g, the Google results were even worse.
