A court filing in the U.S. Department of Justice's case against Google over its alleged monopoly in the search market has revealed a few notable tidbits
Reading the article, I think the biggest hurdle for adoption of DDG in Europe is simply that the search results in non-english suck in comparison to other search engines. Not only that, but if my language contains characters outside of ASCII, performing a query and then repeating the query with a bang to get better result from another engine results in failure to redirect. Now I have to cut the query, repeat the bang and then paste the query into the other engine manually.

Still use it though, just expect to add !g half the time.

Ddg still has its issues, but it can be useful for avoiding some types of SEO targeting articles

I’d prefer !sp for mostly Google-accurate Startpage results, or something that redirects to a living SearxNG insurance, please.
