I disagree. You can search DDG with !scala {}{}{}{}{syntax-laden thing}{}{}{}{} and get results. Google doesn't really have anything that compares to language-specific search functionality.

The 60-70% of things I don't find on DDG immediately, I don't find immediately on Google either. Creative queries win at the same rate on both sides of the equation IMO.

I use DDG as my default and won't be going back just out of principal. I think DDG has a fantastic search engine in the works that could rival Google's "relevant" ad-laden results within the next year and a half.

My only complaint? Color scheme and logo. It just seems IDK, sort of... McDonalds? Gabriel, can I change your logo, please? :)

Hah, you can have a go it, sure! I can't promise I'll use it though :). I love the Duck but am less psyched on the lettering.

I will add some themes though, so if you have any theme ideas I'm all ears. Actual CSS/color changes/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
