Exact same experience here. Search for an error message or unique name and DDG comes up with very little, if anything.

I often fall back to Google as well, but I love that 80% of my questions/searches never touch Google. DDG is well worth it for me.

Same here, for obscure programming questions. Sometimes I do eventually find good results on DDG if I keep scrolling, but on the Goog it's front and center.

When in doubt, bang (!g) it out.

Problem is that's my default ddg search at this point. I have no faith in DDG to actually give me the thing I want, so I rarely give it the change. It'd make more sense to just make google my default at this point..

or just !so ...which will take you directly to stack overflow
