I've given DDG a hard try twice now. It's not perfect, in fact it's good, but when it comes to some more obscure searches (which come up in my musicology stuff day to day), it just doesn't measure up, and I switch back.

DuckDuckGo has been my automatic search engine for a while, on both mobile and desktop. I think it still needs some work though. For some things, like images, Google works far better still. Plus, ranking will differ, and pages I can find with Google (or more likely StartPage) I just can't fin with DDG. So, I'm slowly switching over to StartPage, but it doesn't have search bar integration. Once these sorts of iisues get fixed, I'd hope private search engines will gain more traction.
