    + Super convenient links to commonly used resources, StackOverflow, Wikipedia, GitHub etc for common queries
    + Much improved results since last time I tried it out a year or so ago

    - Too US-biased and crap for UK-specific and local stuff even with the UK switch toggled on, usually end up using !g for that.

      Example of the latter: a simple DDG search for "Indian restaurants Bradford" brings up a result listing restaurants in somewhere called Bradford West Gwillimbury, Ontario.

      Bradford, England is well known for its South Asian food. Bradford in Ontario, it would appear not. A little bit of intelligence as to what you're most likely to be looking for wouldn't go amiss on DDG.

      @iona yeah I still have to go back and forth. Sometimes DDG just produces frustrating results.
