DuckDuckGo is fine for some things, but if you want to do a search with a specific phrase in quotes, it doesn't recognize it. I hate having to go back to Google for some searches, but sometimes it's just better. I wish it wasn't, but it is.
DuckDuckGo's image search also leaves a lot to be desired.
I tried switching to DDG and then Qwant and sadly they both suck for some searches. For example neither could successfully find anything more specific than the home page on my country's government websites. Perhaps Bing, but, again, it's Microsoft?
DDG uses Bing results.
oh fuck me
