I tried duckduckgo for a while.. I don't know if it's because my main language is french, but I found the results really worse than google's and so I used the !g bang really often. I switched to startpage (proxy seargh engine giving google results), it was ok but a bit slow.

Now I use Kagi search, you have to pay for it, but results are great (often better than google) : less SEO spam, a lot of tuning possible, custom searches, small web searches, good image and map searches. And it is supposed to respect your privacy and private data.

For what it's worth, I'm French too, and DuckDuckGo works for me 95% of the time. It definitely has a different "flavor" of results though.
