In becoming more and more less enchanted with Google, I've been giving
DuckDuckGo a fair chance.
My current report: I like it. It reminds me of Google back in the
day. For "normal" text searches, it works rather well. However, for
special searches, Google still provides better results (movies, maps,
videos, images, flights, etc.). I think I'm going to keep using
DuckDuckGo for a while and continue evaluating. It certainly has
piqued my interest and proven itself usable.
