Does !g cause DuckDuckGo to search through Google's search results - and if so does DDG do a better job of prioritizing the relevant ones? I've used DDG for a couple years but I didn't know that syntax.

!g redirects to Google search

!g just redirects you to Google search. DDG itself is just Bing with extra marketing. If you want Google+cleanup you have to use Kagi, which gathers its results by combining different sources.
