My experience with DuckDuckGo has been very mixed. I have to frequently resort to Google, especially for error messages where DDG returns zero results yet Google has indexed and finds a GitHub issue with that exact same text in it. The image searches are also really bad. I am sticking with using DDG but I have a shortcut ready in case I need Google and overall I'd really like something else considering it's a thin wrapper around Bing. I'll try out Kagi and see if it's worth paying
