Reply to comment by scribbyshollow in Alphabet is ramping up scrutiny of all its projects and cutting hiring in half as it tries to curb costs by chrisdh79

Duck duck go was unusable for me. I switched because of all the benefits they touted and found myself searching for what i wanted to find, getting no results that fit what i was looking for and then typing in google.com just to search it again. I decided to cut out the middleman after 2 weeks of poor search results.

I have never had a problem with the search. Haven't had to use google in years outside of the map services it offers.

Thing is, people use search engines in different ways. One user might use keyword-based search queries. Another person might use natural language. Different search engines will handle those differences in different ways.

That's the problem with all these privacy focused searches. They're TOO private. There's nothing wrong with collecting info to provide better results. Just be transparent about how you use that data, and don't mistreat user's data. One-size-fits-all search does not work.
