Have you set the localization to whatever language you are searching in? At least for German it has been working well that way IMO

I have no idea how I missed that! For those unaware there's a little toggle just beneath the search bar - and yes, it did improve the results! Thanks!
That has been one reason why I prefer DDG to google since day 1; I can tell it to give me stuff from my region, or just international. Considering I use the internet in english 98% of the time but occasionally need something specific to Germany, that's very useful indeed :D
Google used to have the same feature a long long time ago, in fact I'd have sworn that DDG copied it from google.
nice happy to hear that. You're welcome
Holy crap, missed by me too. It was set correctly but wasn’t turned on. Thanks.
