    Honestly it’s been a yearish since I’ve tried and my memory is shit so I don’t have any specific examples I can give now. In general though the bulk of my searches involve:

    • A local company I need for xyz or a specific type of restaurant
    • Issues/repairs for a specific make/model/year car (I do lots of my own work)
    • Various homelab related things (docker services for xyz)
    • Details about a movie or TV show (sometimes a specific episode)
    • Prices for products and where I can get them (trying to de-Amazon)
    • How to fix xyz in my home

    I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

      I find that DDG is terrible at finding anything regionally specific, probably because I’m not in the US. I always get a shitload of US hits and usually some German hits if I try to specify location…neither are useful to me.
