I got hooked on DDG a few weeks ago because I LOVE the !bang feature, and the more I read about this company and its founder the more I like it.

Private searches are the next logical step for the web. I am grateful to Google for its contributions to the web early on with relevant search results and many useful services, but it is time to move forward to the next logical step: relevant AND private search results. I believe we can have both. Duckduckgo and Startpage show that it is possible.

DuckDuckGo is the best search engine. It has more privacy, less spam, 0-click info, !bang, and tons of custimizations. Found it in October, never used Google again.

Awesome in every way

Positive Comment by InterwebsCowboy about DuckDuckGo Mar 2011

Awesome in every way, like "MiddleOfNowhere" said a lot of attention is put to detail at DDG, many features I always wanted are included, like settings and separating results by meaning allowing more significant results. I even sended a mail with a few recomendations and "they" (single manteiner) responded right away!! Simply awesome!!

Impresionante en todos los sentidos, como "MiddleOfNowhere" dijo, se pone un montón de atensión a los detalles en DDG, incluye muchas características que siempre he querido, como la posibilidad de configuración y la separación de resultados por significado dando resultados mucho más relevantes. Incluso envié un mail con algunas recomendaciones y "ellos " (el sitio lo mantiene una sola persona) respondieron de inmediato! Simplemente impresionante!

DDG is great.

Positive Comment by MiddleOfNowhere about DuckDuckGo Google Search Jan 2011

DDG is great. A lot of attention to detail, relevant results and goodies like "Zero Click Box" (will typically show the first paragraph from Wikipedia for a search term). Also, there's keyboard control, direct access to Wolfram Alpha features/results (e.g. for conversions) and what they call Bang! - these are keywords that will take you directly to certain sites.E.g., a query for "bbedit !alto" on DuckDuckGo will show BBEdit alternatives on alternativeto.net, and "Matrix !amazon" will list Matrix-related products on Amazon.com. I am using it as my default search engine now and only go to Google for "needle in a haystack" searches where every result matters. If you don't need the whole Autocomplete/Instant Search/Media Search Zoo from Google, this is a fast and reliable alternative.

In the last 4 weeks DuckDuckGo had by far more likes than Google Search:

I use it for some days and I think it's great. Specially, if they keep their privacy promises.

DDG is awesome because, among other things, it allows me to search with every search engine including Amazon, Wikipedia, or even Google.
