Google has much more context on your query, because they track you. You'll have to learn to provide DDG with that missing context, then the results are comparable. You get to learn a bit about search in the process :-) I've actually switched from Google to DDG (roughly six years ago). From time to time (about twice a year) I still resort to Google, especially when I don't understand why I'm not getting results I expect. Cheers -- t
