Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good here.

Using Google some of the time is better that using it all of the time.

DGG has been my default search engine for years now, and like you, I occasionally need to add !g to get the answer I’m looking for. I’m fine with that. I hope DGG uses those failed search followed by a !g search to improve their stuff. (In a privacy preserving way)



Well, saying "you need to put !g if you think google would find the result better than what bing is showing" isn't easy for everyone to understand and adds a lot of friction. Perfect isn't the enemy of good when there's already a service that most people regard as being perfect (at least for the queries they're giving it).
