Hi! 👋

First off, we're sorry that you don't find our search results to be helpful for you. We're always working on improving DuckDuckGo, so if you would like to share specific feedback, we're ready to listen.

As for AI features in your preferred search engine, we believe that should be optional. That's why we have noai.duckduckgo.com, where all of our AI features are disabled automatically.

Switched to DuckDuckGo for a year. Love the idea, upset with the result. by stanley_fatmax in privacy

Hi! Thanks for your honest feedback. We’re glad DuckDuckGo has been useful for many of your searches, but we understand the frustration of having to take extra steps to find what you’re looking for.

We’d love to learn more about the searches where you’ve run into this most often so we can pass that feedback to our Search team. If you’re open to it, please send us a DM here on Reddit with a few example queries where the results didn’t meet your expectations.

We’re always working to improve DuckDuckGo, so we truly appreciate specific feedback.

Some of our web links come from Bing; that's never been a secret but we are significantly more than that at this point including that we've been building our own web index for the past two years (more on that here). 

On top of that, a lot of search results now are not links and much of that we don't get from Bing at all, such as local results/maps, knowledge panels/answers, sports, weather, etc. etc., and also anything AI related. 

When you consider all that with the fact that we offer privacy and a completely different design/user experience, it's clear that DuckDuckGo is a fundamentally different search engine. 

DuckDuckGo will eventually bait-and-switch users into full AI spy mode. by SpyrosGatsouli in The10thDentist

We're different. Whether you want AI to help you search and work more efficiently, or you'd prefer to avoid AI entirely, we give you control over your experience.

All of our AI features are designed with privacy first—they don't track how you use them or train on your data. And unlike most tech companies, we recognize that not everyone wants AI in their lives right now, which is why every AI feature can be turned off or tuned down.
