I've read so many people say this, but it does not match my experience at all.

I use DDG 100% of the time, and maybe retry on another search engine a couple times per month.

There's clearly some difference, but I don't know what it is:

- Search topic (my searches are mostly tech-related, but other family members are also happy on DDG)

- Query style (I may be a bit literal/keyword-inclined, but others are more conversational)

- Location?

I honestly find it interesting people have trouble with duckduckgo. Although, the one thing I have found lacking is their exact phrase search. For exact queries I end up having to add !g the query. Otherwise, I find myself rarely needing to use google.
Exact phrases, even when quoted?
Yes, when quoted.
