Just because google has seen my search before, how does that translate to being able to give me good search results? Search is an incredibly hard and nuanced problem. I doubt ddg's main disadvantage is training set of search queries.
Plus, you're underestimating the percentage of queries that google has never seen before. Google processes trillions of searches every year, and still, 15% of those queries have never been seen by Google before. [0]
