I had a bit of trouble adapting to the kinds of results I 
   was getting and what sort of language I used when 
   searching (I didn’t realize how tuned-in to Google’s 
   search algorithms my subconscious had become), but after 
   using it for a while I began to love it.

I'd love to read a tutorial about how to adjust search queries to suit DDG. Maybe this is why I find it to be such a pain, and always switch back.
