For example, if I search for "Whitney" on Summitpost, I don't care if a crawler found that more links go to an album about the mountain, I just want the Summitpost page on Mt. Whitney (even if it's unpopular).

I can see how ddg is different than google but I can't see how it is better. I spot checked several mountain-related searches on both ddg and google; google produced better results 100% of the time. The fundamental problem is that ddg seems to rely on summitpost's native search engine, which is like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

It may differ but you get worse search results, as nartreb demonstrated earliermvs wrote:nhluhr wrote:http://tinyurl.com/2wvsnbpmvs wrote:But more importantly, they have a neat feature that lets you run a search directly in an important site.
Welcome to the internet.
I'm sick of trying to explain to you guys how the !summitpost operator DIFFERS from the Google site: operator. Thanks for your snarky link though it was funny.
