Right, yeah it does depend. In general though, DDG is just bad about half the time for me in general. Do you know if startpage has a !g kind of directive like DDG? I may have to give that one a shot if so.

Not sure, but if you use Firefox this functionality comes by default and is customizable.

you can add other search engines shortcuts trough add-ons https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/startpage-private-search/?utm_source=addons.mozilla.org&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=search

I just tried a search on startpage that gave me a lot of issues on DDG last night. Immediately found what I needed! Thanks!
