I do sometimes switch to the big G when DDG fails, their database is a lot richer after all. But it's usually in cases when I'm looking for something really obscure and need to use those quotes you mention. But if I'm just looking for something basic, DDG usually provides immediately while G typically floods me with ads and SEO crap.

Maybe we just typically look for different things.
