What's the issue with DuckDuckGo and why is it worse than Google? Provide actual arguments please.
Q: "dark haired actress from witcher show"
Google: "Anya Chalotra (born 1994 or 1995) is a British actress primarily known for her role as Yennefer of Vengerberg in the Netflix original series The Witcher"
DDG: "The Witcher (TV Series 2019- ) - Full Cast & Crew - IMDb"
Q: "AA203"
Google: "American Airlines flight 203, Amsterdam to Philadelphia: Arrived at 308pm"
DDG: "AA203 (AAL203) American Airlines Flight Tracking and History - Flightaware"
Q: "time signature of mission impossible theme"
Google: "5/4 time"
DDG: "Theme from Mission: Impossible
American television theme music

Q: "Golang test for string empty"
Google: "In Golang, we can do this by:
Comparing it with an empty string.
Evaluating the length of the string; if it's zero, then the string is empty, and vice versa." DDG: "https://stackoverflow.com › questions › 18594330 › what-is-the-best-way-to-test-for-an-empty-string-in-go
What is the best way to test for an empty string in Go?"
Q: "aoe4 finding landmarks"
Google: "Reddit: How do you know which buildings are landmarks?"
DDG: "https://ageofempires.fandom.com › wiki › Landmark
Landmark | Age of Empires Series Wiki | Fandom"
These were just a handful of queries I threw at the two. Google often gives the exact answer with no other searching needed. DDG never does. When the results are links and they're different, the Google results are simply better. Anybody objective who uses the two search engines knows this. Only someone with an axe to grind would pretend that DDG is anywhere near as good.
