DDG is a nice search engine for simple research, but I don't use it as much for its search purpose as for its !bang utility.

Being able to search on almost any website by adding a simple keyword is a real plus and I will go even further and say that sometimes it accelerates the search process (say you know you want to search on wikipedia for instance).

However, I have to admit that most of the times I end up searching on google :)



In regards to searching a particular site, is this the same thing as using the tag site:wikipedia.org on Google?


It's better, in my opinion, as it loads the website specified and use the website's search tool directly.

Give it a try, go on DDG and type !w to search on wikipedia.
