You can use Startpage to get Google search results. It's a meta search engine for Google, but it doesn't expose any of your data. You can use it with DuckDuckGo's Bangs feature. That way, DuckDuckGo can be your default search engine and you can make all of your normal search queries with DDG, but if you want to search on Google through Startpage, you just type !sp followed by your search query into DuckDuckGo and it will forward your search to Startpage. This also works with many many other sites, type !bangs into DDG to get the full list of supported websites.

Thanks for the startpage tip. Just switched all my browsers to use it instead.

Why use !sp instead of !g?

Startpage gives you Google search results without exposing your data to Google. It's better for your privacy.

Cool, I'll give this a try too.

You always have to add the clause "in my native language" to such statements.

I have the same experience with DDG. Which is why I use DDG with bangs to search for results on other engines in my native language.
