My biggest pain point with DuckDuckGo, is locality.
My biggest pain point with DuckDuckGo, is locality. I search for "hdmi cable" on DuckDuckGo and it gives me links to products that are sold in BestBuy and Walmart... They don't exist here in the UK. It also gives me links to Amazon.COM and Ebay.COM... I do the same search on Google and it gives me links to Currys, Tesco, Argos and Maplin (all UK shops/sites). And it links me to Amazon.CO.UK and Ebay.CO.UK. I don't use DuckDuckGo for searching for products which I want to buy, because this is always what happens. I suspect DuckDuckGo is a much better search experience for people inside the US than outside. EDIT: Ooh. I've just noticed that if I set my region to "UK" in DuckDuckGo the results suddenly become far more relevant. Why isn't this set by default? Not only am I coming from a UK IP address, but my browser is sending "Accept-Language: en-gb"
