The problem with DuckDuckGo is that, when it comes to searching, it simply sucks. I used it as my default search engine for a week, and I had to return to Google - the results from DuckDuckGo were very mediocre. Which is a shame, for I am really sick and tired of the Google bastards (Don't Be Evil? Assholes!) but DuckDuckGo will have to improve a heck of a lot before that quality of its search results is comparable to Google's.
DDG does a great job on about 90% of the queries I search. And the other 10% are difficult ones, where Google might be a bit better. But then I do not know when DFG is better than Google.
Overall, Google is probably a bit better, but DDG is fine.

Use "!g " in the DDG search box to initiate a google search with those terms.
Why use !g when you can use !sp (Score:4, Informative)
If you use !sp instead, you can use Startpage, which anonymizes Google search results.
