Comment on USV invests in Duck Duck Go

I'd like to see more search engines come into the picture, but from using this, I'm not sure I understand how the results are more relevant than what Google provides. If you type in the name of someone well known, you get a box with some info about them - mostly from wikipedia,but couple of other sources. If you are relatively unknown, the results are the typical linkedin, spoke.com, myliving, etc. etc.

For someone to really switch over from Google, the results cannot be as good as. Bing was as good as, and it hasn't really worked out so well for them. With as good as - there's no compelling reason to switch. It has to be substantially better, and I don't see it but I could be completely wrong. I'd be happy for someone to reply to this with example search terms where the results from DDG are far better than what Google provides.
