That's interesting, I've been having way better luck digging around on ddg. Google just seems to serve up ads when I'm trying to research a company or something and won't give me what I'm looking for.
Maybe its the types of things I search for though. It's really hard to say

I think a large part of it is whether you know what you're searching for already. If you have a good idea of what it is already then you can generally find it. If you're already good at using search terms or syntax it's always helpful but it was the same for Google.

Simply put though Google just scrapes waaaaaaay more data so it's going to have more to index from.

Either way it's just one tool. Just like I'm using Bing for porn over either lol.
