They've made a ton of improvements since the last time I tried them - I'm using them permanently now to get away from Google and it's great. Would recommend giving it a try.

My only 2 complaints are:

1) I make a search and want to see news (or whatever) but they don't show the news link - they only display it based on some algorithm that is wrong all the time.

2) No maps - Google is still the leader here. Would be great to see some sort of integration between duckduckgo and openstreetmap
