I use DDG on my phone, still Google on my desktop.
While there are a lot of things to like about DDG, the searches are still pretty rubbish.
What's worst about DDG is that it is absolutely useless at location searches.
The one that really bugs me is "Nottingham Weather". Location set to UK, yet it returns the weather for White March, MD
Nottingham, population 700,000, but somehow a road in White Marsh, MD, America, population 9,513, is the result it shows.
If I'm searching a venue, pub, club, etc. with United Kingdom set, it usually returns US bars or venues with the same name.
Anything technical Google is also much better at filtering the dross and returning something meaningful, though that might be because it's learnt the programming languages, etc. I use.
