I love DDG but I think as the world turns away from document indexing and more toward intent based search, plus the ever increasing use of implicit data (gps location, speed of movement etc) - I can't see how DDG are going to grow. Ultimately search will end up with something a bit like Siri (but something that works). The hound demo (if real) is a very impressive glimpse of the future of search. For those who haven't seen it : ▶ this video
You're probably skeptical (as I was) but watch this video demo of the Hound app: ▶ this video That's insanely fast, compound natural language queries. I'm impressed.
