It does show you more relevant results based on your query, withou doing any guessing about what you might have meant by it. That being said, sometimes I use Google to search for something when DDG is giving me bad results. But overall I would recommend, it's muxh more better experience with the results I am seeing. I have tried Bing for a while as well, but it was thinking too much instead of just showing me the results.

The only reason I had to use Google was to search by image. Which is a feature DDG doesn't have sadly.

For specific search, I found perplexity.ai to be much better and faster, it uses AI to scan the websites and give summaries as to why they are relevant to your query.

I find that when I’m looking for very specific things Google is still king but DDG is much better for broad strokes.

I'd say the opposite: ddg can get me what I want, if I know exactly what I want. If I'm just vaguely guessing, ddg us as good as my guess, while Google tries to guess with me and it works out sometimes.
