DuckDuckGo's privacy is cool, and their ! syntax is great, but I've never really been happy with their search engine's results.

You need to write more specific queries, like you did with search engines before Google. Personalization does have some advantages, being able to guess what you're really looking for being one of them. I don't find having to type a few extra words to be a big disadvantage.
