#2I use it. It's not as good as Google, but it pretty much gets the job done when I need it to.

#3The key for switching to DuckDuckGo for me was to set it as the default searchengine / startpage on all browsers. While the relevance of search results is slightly (noticable) worse than Google, I think the tradeoff between privacy VS result-quality is worth it. Thanks for making such a great product!

Hey Phil,
DuckDuckGo employee here - Be sure to use the 'feedback' button that you find on the search results page whenever you feel a search isn't up to standards.
Our team has been working hard at increasing relevancy, but the best changes come when users let us know what they need.
Since we don't filter bubble results (https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_b...) results certainly feel different when making the leap, and that takes an adjustment period for most people. But, if you actually feel you have examples where you can't find what you're looking for, then we want to know so we can provide you a seamless search experience as well!

Thanks for the tip. I'll do that.
I use DDG as primary but any time the search results aren't relevant, I fall back to Google. I fall back a lot right now and I think this is the area for DDG to focus in.

#8I switched to DDG as my default search everywhere a few months ago, and I recommend everyone does. The results are passable and when they aren't there is always !g

Google has a list of scheduled flights when you put in two airport codes which is useful, doesn't look like DDG does the same.

DuckDuckHack https://duckduckhack.com/ might be a good starting point. There are also a number of zeroclick related projects on their github profile: https://github.com/duckduckgo
