For several years I’ve been using DuckDuckGo instead of Google Search, and I’ve been overall quite happy with the results. Only rarely had I to resort to Google search (!g).

During the last month or two, however, I’ve found myself using the !g switch and Google search more than half of the time. DuckDuckGo shows no or few results where Google shows more (and useful) ones.

Still I don’t want to give in. So:

  • Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?
  • Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?

This is awesome. Is there a DDG !bang for this? I would love to use it in place of !g for the few times I resort to !g.

I submitted a request for !leta. If it gets rejected I’ll try what you said. +1 for Firefox.
