I must concur. while both tools are very useful indeed, one is not 
necessarily better or worse than the other for searches.  It depends on 
what  you are seeking.
Which brings up the question, why that happens?
Both tools should, save for google specific items, bring up comparative 
results. ddg may be better from a low graphics standpoint, depending on 
your platform, but results should mirror  correct?
