    Effective search results.

    Two recent examples:

    • searching for the open hours of a local shop, google gives it to me. DDG gives me other places far away and no hours listed in the results.
    • searching for a web cartoon involving praying mantises. Google gives me four different cartoons. DDG gives me two cartoon-style drawings of a praying mantis and a ton of photos of praying mantises.

      The other way around though, when I was recently searching for the new nvidia linux beta drivers, DuckDuckGo gave me the official nvidia site as the first result. Google didn’t even have it on the first page.
