What to use for search engine. Even ddg is not giving reliable results.

DDG queries can't really be written the same way you'd write one in Google if you're after effective results. It'll take some time to get used to it, tbh I was using DDG alongside Google until I fully switched.

Do you mean grammar-wise, or special operators?

Grammar, I've noticed I get much better results if I word things more directly instead of like a question

They probably mean grammar, since most Google operators do work. If there's a specific difference in search syntax (other than bangs) though, I'd love to know what I've been missing.
