I gave up on DDG. The !bang syntax fails, for me, in a pretty annoying way. "!django modles" sends you off to django's search page (as it should), but now I'm trapped in an inferior search engine.
searching for just "django modles" returns pretty bad results, including what could kindly be described as a linkedin blog entry.
Now try the same search on google. (I made sure to try this logged out in case google personalized my results.)
search for "django modles". The first result matches DDG. The next three are Model field reference, instance references, and how to make queries. All highly relevant! I work with Django, and I think these are good results.
DDG in general has provided dissatisfying results and I suspect it is from not knowing what I don't know when searching, so I can't identify bad searches as they happen. But not knowing is why I search to begin with, so that is Why I don't use DuckDuckGo, but I don't care if you do.
Sorry if you took offence to what I said, I simply interpreted you listing all the issues searching specifically for django and how you work with django, then claim that they are generally a bad service.
Your complaint was very specific, yet you claimed it was a general issue.
All that being said, your complaints were entirely targeted towards meeting your needs. Hence, specific need. I can't even conceive of how your complaint wasn't about a specific need, or how this is so drastically different from a specific issue.
>Your complaint was very specific, yet you claimed it was a general issue.
My complaint was a specific example of the general issue I wrote about in the last paragraph of my post. Did you ignore the last paragraph from my original post on purpose?
Let me spell it out for you.

follow by I suspect it is from not knowing what I don't know when searching, so I can't identify bad searches as they happen.
So I clearly say in general I am dissatisfied and posit a reason why that might be the case. The point of the example is, for the curious, something they can go try or talk about, but thanks for the nitpicking!
Your only other comment on this story is an "It works for me!" So thanks for contributing nothing but fanboi garbage.
