wut? if you find what you're looking for then the results are fine. the google results seem to be deeper into forums but that comes from context. Google knows I'm a programmer so I get more tech related results on average.

Again, if ddg doesn't give me what I want I use !g to try google.




>> if you find what you're looking for then the results are fine

As a user I don't just want to find it, I want to find it easy. For example, the most (/more) relevant answer should be ranked 1st, not 12th on the second page. Also, a lot of times I'm trying to solve a difficult question - so the 'closer' it takes me to the real solution by combining more than one 'top' search results, the betters is the search engine quality. Also, I love how Google answers a lot of questions without visiting any website at all (on the top with its cards). I know it might be bad for the website whose information is probably being scraped, but it's better for me as a user.
