    Yeah I don’t know why DuckDuckGo keeps getting recommended as much as it does.

    I couldn’t find on Google, the answer to a simple question the other day. All I wanted to know was the precooked weight of a particular fast food restaurant’s patty.

    I made it to page 3 of the Google results, wading through page after page of promotional content, news releases, and sponsored “news-style” articles that were thinly veiled ads.

    Decided to visit duck duck go, and was greeted with search results that were even worse than Google.

    I realize it’s only one example, but to me it was an example of a search so specific, its egregious that the search engines simply refuse to return a page with the answer.
