I've been using DDG for a half year now, and I'm digging it. A feature request: A quick language filter! I use three languages in my daily live. However, false friends (similar words with different meanings) and the fact that some topics are more relevant in some languages make searching sometimes an agony. Google suffers from this too; I can change languages from the settings, but what I really want is a quick language filter, similar to the date filter, since I tend to juggle with that many, many times per day. Or would, if it weren't painful.


Maybe a solution for you would be using Firefox containers, with one container per language?


If you're using Firefox, this extension might be a search engine-agnostic solution for you: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/languageswitc...
