I just saw a forum comment where a guy said, "When I Duck-Ducked The Name... "

Worst name is search. Even Dogpile is better.

I'd DD more but I find the responsiveness of their results a bit slow. 3-4 seconds just doesn't cut it compared to G.

So, if Y is worth $4.8B, what's DD worth?

Low blow. They're worth a bit more than that  :P

I took myself off the GG teat a few years ago and have all my defaults set to DDG. There are some cases where I still want to see the GG SERPs, and then I just add !g to the query and I'm off to the races.

Really, using the $/eyeball Y sales price, I'd bet DDG is in the $millions.  Verizon should have picked them up, too.

Unfortunately once they do catch the goose that lays golden eggs then all the geeks who currently use them will switch to another engine overnight, They have a very fickle audience.

>another engine overnight

Are there any alternatives at this time?  Something that's more than a skin for Bing or G?

  • StartPage - was the default for the Tor browser for a bit. Better SERPs than DDG sometimes
  • searX - Open source metasearch engine that you can run yourself, or use one of their instances. Very hackable

Metasearch seems to be where it's at these days.
