Another problem is that Google seems to ignore a significant part of the words you type into the search bar.

If you type 'word1 word2 word3', where word3 is less common than word1 and word2, a lot of the time, it will act as if word3 simply wasn't in the query.

ddg does this too with annoying frequency. Even quoting it does not necessarily guarantee it will appear in the snippet, much less the result.

And when DDG runs out of "web links" it just fills the rest of result pages with local results that are out-of-place and useless. Like, getting "Visit Paris" sites after searching for rare computer parts.
