I guess we all kinda knew that, but it's always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

I switched to DDG merely to get rid of Google's irrelevant paid results up top.

If I'm searching for brand model manual I don't need every competitor's marketing detritus.

Likewise contact details etc... it's maddening.

Yes, but DDG seems to have worse organic results in my experience. I mean the bar is low, but DDG falls under it.

Oh yeah, the results are worse, but at least I can filter with search grammar and not also have to mentally filter out the ads too.

I'm not sure if we've ended up back at the ol' altavista/askjeeves keyword-stuffed hell yet, but it's close.
