Searching Amazon, on DDG, in UK local mode, I get as my first results:

- Amazon.co.uk (UK)

- Amazon.com (US)

- Amazon.in (India)

- Amazon.com / prime (US Prime)

- Amazon.ca (Canada)

On Bing conversely I get:

- Amazon.co.uk (with links to sections of the site like books/today's deals etc. etc. underneath)

- Amazon.com/uk (US site but redirects to UK site)

- Amazon.co.uk Your Account Section

- Amazon Prime (UK)

- Amazon Deals (UK)

Bing's results are clearly more UK centric and therefore more relevant to me as a British citizen.

For that reason I can't really make the full-time switch to DDG as I keep !g'ing to get UK results and it becomes a pain.

If you're happy with Bing's direct results, you can !b instead of !g also.

I'm aware of that. But it's the same issue of having to do an extra step every time. It grinds after a while and the amount of times you end up doing it you realise you may as well just use Google/Bing!
