Same here, I tried really hard to use DuckDuckGo and lasted with it as my default for around a month. I started using !google a lot and had to switch back in the end as I found it was just slowing me down.

It's fine for basic searches but the results really lack when it comes to any kind of technical query.

This is exactly what happened to me. DDG is good for my basic searches, but anything more complex often results in me having to fall back to Google.

Unrelated: I hate that DDG doesn't show dates, which I find invaluable for many of my searches. Is there any way to show those in DDG?
