    I find duckduckgo works pretty well. Use to I’d have to swap between it and Google depending on what I was looking for, but now I haven’t had to swap in so long, that when I am forced to use Google at work, I actually get irritated with it because all the answers are buried under a mountain of ads.

      In the new era where every search engine is garbage because of all the search term bait websites with no real content, at least DuckDuckGo still respects you as a person

      I use duckduckgo by default but still need to switch back to Google to search for local stuff. Even if I share my location and search in my native language, duckduckgo’s results are still US-centered.

      My favorite bangs on DuckDuckGo:

      • !g Google
      • !gi Google Images
      • !gm Google Maps
      • !yt YouTube
      • !wiki Wikipedia

      I’m sure there’s a lot of others. Basically, you shove that at the end of your query and you make a query to the other thing instead. I found it made my transition to DDG easier.

      Example: test!g Googles test.
