So far of using it I checked same results from google from time to time. So far top results always seem to be almost the same.

That is because they source results from Bing and Yandex(and also their own index).

I wish them all the best. Prosper DDG!

I wish them well too, and talk about them to privacy-minded friends, but I dont use them personally because I almost always wind up going to Google anyway...

Edit: Its been some months, Ill give them another try.

I wonder how they plan to monetize their service I've only found this regarding their financial model http://duck.co/topic/financing-model

I believe they use the same model as Google, et. al. Sponsored listings for relevant searches.

edit: They also have an affiliate program when linking to eBay and Amazon (http://help.duckduckgo.com/customer/portal/articles/216405-a...)

I didn't really embrace DDG until I got the hang of all the bang commands. Make an effort to try those out and maybe you'll find the same.
