I like the idea of DDG but it is quite frankly of little use to me. For most English terms it works reasonably well but for other languages such my mother tongue, Swedish, it is more or less useless. I found most results to be close to useless but I have not used DDG to a great degree because of this issue.

I rather take relevant results results in multiple languages while being logged than less relevant results without being logged.

Have you set your regional settings in DDG to "Sweden"?

Heres a comparison between search results when I chose "English" vs. "Norwegian" on a Norwgeian term: http://i.imgur.com/ReIa5.png

Ah, that might be a improvement but then the questions becomes, how does the English results become affected by me changing it to Swedish?

To be fair I do most of my searches in English and therefore it might cause irrelevant results again. Changing back and forth depending on what language I am search for is hardly ideal.

Will have a look to see how it affects my searches.
