This is where !g comes in handy. In my experience how you search ddg is a bit different from how you search google and it may require some time to get used to but for me what ddg offers is far more interesting than what google does e.g. consistent results, privacy, ability to forward my search request to other search engines.

There's also !s, which will search using startpage -- all of the google results and none of the google creepiness.
Consistency? Another commenter (greysonp) says he got different results with my query.

How is that “consistent”?

I see the same thing as the other two posters so I'm very curious as to why you get what you get.
I tried the query several times and got a few slightly different results, at one point getting something similar (but not identical) to enraged_camel's results. Most of the time it shows me what everyone else is reporting, but "consistent" might not be a good description here.
That is interesting, although I seem to be getting the same result as him (I've replied to your other comment).
