Using DDG now for almost 4 weeks it seems to prefer english language sites,
does not provide correct answers and is in general a kind of waste of time
if I am not looking for linux related stuff.
This confirms once again the results of our 1998 study on search engines
where Google outperform all the engines that existed back then.

I'm sorry guys, but DDG is another joke. For example I wanted to know what
is Stieglitz in German - it is kind of bird, but I wanted to know how it
looks like. DDG results did not even come close to a bird.
