Results not as good as Google

Results are only as good as the search terms. Duckduckgo is absolute as far as my search requirements go

What annoys the cr4p outta me now is that "G00gle" has become the generic term for a "search engine"

I use Google search in both Edge and Firefox address bars and only rarely get a captcha. No Chrome for me. . I might consider another search engine if there was one that would do as well as Google does helping me find what I want as quickly and in a clean cohesive seach results page. None of the other search engines come close to Google in doing that. And Bing....Bing sucks in more ways than any of the others..
