I get a link to DuckDuckGo on page 3, and a mention of it on page 8. On page 2 there is a link to "Duck Duck Geese" which is a local restaurant apparently. Google's official reason for forcing local search results was that 1 in 5 users were searching for local results. So in this case they are returning results that are sub-optimal to 4 out of 5 users.
