DDG is an entirely different search engine, they don't use Google.

If you want to build your own engine, go ahead :)

I mean the !g bang - DDG has the option of getting results from Google and Bing. Bing offers an API for $6/10000 queries, but Google does not - I'm curious how they have access to Google search results.

!g doesn't load googles results on duckduckgo's page, it just forwards you to the appropriate google page. A quick test suggests the format is

    https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=<query>
(Google might have redirected me after whatever ddg directed me to, but just using this format should work)
