I see the interest in promoting DDG, but the "let me take your hand and do that for you" is and will always be a bit condescending.

You can tell about a great search engine without that kind of approach, in my opinion. Because if your intention is good, this way is hardly the best, I think. Most will use it like others used lmgtfy, or a more strict "RTFM", years ago: as a "search yourself noob" end of discussion.



I kinda disagree. There's a difference between saying "search yourself" and "search for yourself using these keywords"

And depending on context, some people really do need to be shown that they can type keywords into the search box like so in order to get results like these.
