    People have gone on and on about this trick, yet people have failed to
    notice the real trick: stop using Google. Google sucks now. DuckDuckGo
    gives noticeably better results, and it's better for privacy, so it's
    win-win.

    Agreed.

    DuckDuckGo gives noticeably better results,

    Sadly, I have found that DuckDuckGo results to be an inferior subset of
    the results that Google will give.

    I often am searching for things with DuckDuckGo 1st and end up needing
    to use Google 2nd to find what I'm looking for.

    Respectfully disagree. Google, although rapidly being overtaken by
    Yahoo, still produces the best results.

    If I'm searching for technical information of varying types, DDG doesn't
    even return well known results so it's not helpful. Yahoo has begun to
    surpass Google in terms of accuracy and quantity.

    +1

    DuckDuckGo gives noticeably better results,

    Sadly, I have found that DuckDuckGo results to be an inferior subset of
    the results that Google will give.

    It's hit or miss depending on the DuckDuckGo search, maybe a page and a
    half of results for the query before the first unrelated random hit.

    I often am searching for things with DuckDuckGo 1st and end up needing
    to use Google 2nd to find what I'm looking for.

    Same, although I can use yahoo effectively via Tor browser whereas Google
    makes it difficult.

    I generally use DDG and have nearly all Google properties
    blocked altogether in my HOSTS file. I would never touch
    gmail or Google services for webmasters. But it simply isn't true
    that DDG is better. It's Bing. Maybe once a month I use Google
    for an obscure search because DDG just doesn't have it.

    Yes, Google sucks now, but with the "udm=14" trick it's back to the
    old Google that was, and is, much better than DuckDuckGo.

    Yeah I understand, maybe my searches are easier so I am happy with it.
    usually I only search about condig/networking stuff so in this case I
    usually get good results as long I dork it right.
    But you are right that everyones experience is prob diff for you is
    worse, etc.. I respect that.
