It could be that you and I are searching for different subjects. I typically am looking for parts for something, and various parts suppliers (cars, industrial equipment, forklifts) have SEO'ed themselves to the top of the list even though they dont have what you searched for.

I see. For me it's mostly programming stuff. As long as the issue in question isn't very obscure then DuckDuckGo is doing fine. However, if it's mentioned in a single 5 year old GitHub issue then Google is pretty much the only chance to find it in my experience.
