The Verge shows how Google search is useless
(www.theverge.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If you have any tips or tricks for DDG please do share! I'm definitely getting better overall results there, but the local ones can still be a bit rough.

What do you mean by "local"? If you mean finding somewhere to go for lunch or the opening hours of a store, I recommend using the maps app on your phone (I prefer Apple Maps over Google, because it uses Yelp and TripAdvisor for reviews which are accurate than Google reviews... if I had an Android phone I'd probably install Yelp/TripAdvisor).
