It misses that "Algorithm profile" that Google has where it starts to "understand" what you mean but it's still pretty good. (Example. If I type in "genocide" in Google, it knows I often look for Undertale related things and pushes "Undertale genocide route" related content. For DDG I need to be clearer about what I mean) It took a bit getting used to but I prefer it this way now. permalink fedilink source parent
