I don't think it's practical. None of the search engines give me results of quality high enough for my daily software development problem, but Google. Tried them all. If you want to get stuff done, you google it. If you want to play socially responsible society member role, you try alternative browsers, until you run out of time, then you google it.

I don't know what you're searching, but I found the opposite to be true. Exceptions being local to geo area shopping, searching for images with text on them with the text - think xkcd -, and extremely obscure software error messages - apart from these, DDG beats google for me. Has been for quite a while.
