I definitely moved to DuckDuckGo the moment I realized Google was ignoring the text I was writing on the search box. I was searching for a bug fix in my code for weeks, something very niche and difficult to find. When I finally got the answer and moved on to the following bug, Google kept mixing my previous bug with the new one, making it impossible to find the right answer. It got so used to me being focused on that niche thing, it couldn’t believe I moved past it.
DuckDuckGo forced me to write “smart queries” again, giving context on the search text. But it gave me the results I needed. Not the ones Google googlexplained me I needed.
