Two things I love about DuckDuckGo:

1) I can search for a handful of specific terms I remember were on a webpage I didn't bookmark, and I can type them in and find what I'm looking for instead of them being "interpreted" by something trying to be too smart

2) Nobody bothers to send them the same DMCA takedowns that they send to Google, so I can find torrents and things I couldn't otherwise

But on most days, Google is easier to find useful stuff when I don't know specifically what I'm looking for or the exact terms to use.

In an ideal world, I'd have Google default to more of how DuckDuckGo seems to work, with a "fuzzy search" option you can use if needed
