Google returns: "About 782,000,000 results (0.45 seconds) "
If you actually click through Google's result pages, you will find that there are actually only about 87 results.

Ive been using DDG as a default search for a while now. My conclusion is that the results are just NOT as good as Google's. I find myself using Google searches for time sensitive or mission critical searches, which totally defeats the purpose of a search engine.
