I always had the impression Google is pretty good at guessing what you want even if you try your best to enter crappy search terms, whereas you have to tell DDG more 'exactly' what you want, pre-Google era-style. But if you do the results are usually spot on. But I've been on DDG for years so I'm not sure if this distinction is still there.
