I've frequently found better results by using the !g when searching for technical docs and other programming-related stuff.

But for more everyday, non-programming things, I've frequently found the regular DDG results (from Bing) actually better and less filled with SEO crap than Google's.

Often when searching with google I stick !g in front of my query without thinking, and only realize when it shows up in the search bar after the page loads.
