      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.
