This is a good starting point (although 2 years old):
Duck Duck Go vs. Google Search
Meta: how do you watch this? First, DuckDuckGo offered me to watch on their site without Google tracking, it doesn't offer it anymore. do I have to clear the browser cache, no other easy options to get it back? I didn't bother with personalized settings yet. It's a relevant YouTube video for DuckDuckGo, I Duck-searched this on this very forum, to no avail.
Some things I just don't find with the Duck. :)
1. There was a funny article '
medium matter internet sexual' will be your first hit on Google, not even in the top 10 on Duck. How would you search for the article? Do you really have to go to Medium.com first, like an animal, and do a site-search?
2. In about less than a month, a new SD card standard was announced which defines minimum speed requirements for Android apps. I wanted to locate some relevant hits for this with Duck, no success. With Google I would find it in 10 seconds, even without any juggling with the time settings (search in X time frame). How would you find this information the easiest way with Duck?
DuckDuckGo has some funny finds. :)
I searched for author '
mark ames' (born a US citizen, and still only a US citizen, but has some history in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union), this is what appeared for his Duck search on the right-hand side information window:
Born: Марк Эймс
It's probably because you use Yandex as a backend.
I will update this thread with my further adventures. Sister topic:
Is it true that DuckDuckGo is more or less useless for languages other than English?
How about focusing on just do one thing, but doing that one thing right? Either be good in International English, or national language, but this mixed approach, that one of your services tends to go International English, the other tends to go national language is at least giving a confusing overall experience.
