It sure would, but you'd also lose quite some time doing A/B testing. I know because I tried, and eventually decided it's not worth spending any time on. So I just put DDG as default, and now - when the results aren't satisfactory - google is just one !g away. That is imo a much better and easier way of getting to know DDG.

- stinos 11y agoI see why you want A/B testing but look at it this way: if you find the answer to your question on the first results page you didn't miss anything. Hence: no explicit A/B needed :] If you do not find the result than !g might be a way out. Not sure how it works exactly, you just prepend or append it to the search. As other comments point out: in FF I usually do Ctrl-K (focus search), End (to unselect text), type !g, Enter
