I switched to DuckDuckGo for a while, and noticed I was having trouble finding things. When I then compared specific searches with Google, it was clear to me that I was getting a superior quality of searches with Google. This disappoints me. I would gladly prefer the alternative, but I can’t add many minutes to my day of work trying to find stuff that should be easy.

Advice here is to toss the !g bang on when you think you aren’t getting what you need. AFAIK this is still better than using google itself because the search is from DDG’s servers and not your personal IP (I could be wrong here though)

I was tossing !g in to so many searches that I eventually just switched back to google from duckduckgo and startpage.

The !g bang just redirects to you Google with the search query.
