Although I would like a button to occasionally turn off "smart searching" that was using my personal info, in general searches that take into account your history and location produce better results. You can also do this manually by just opening a private tab.

I also just searched "Best Museums in Las Vegas" on Google and Duck Duck go, and DDG does not produce as many quality results in the top 10 as Google. They do make up for it, if you are doing a really micro search, because they list soooooo many more results on the first page. But they are definitely still vulnerable to Groupon spam in a way Google searches are not.
