"Good results" meaning relevant results? DDG has tools that help fine-tune your search, and if you use them, you'll probably have a better time. I'd suggest giving it another chance.
When it comes to location based services, certain integrations, and review systems, though, unfortunately I'd say Google is still the default, so there's no shame in using it for that sort of thing—just choose your engine based on what you're looking for. Firefox makes it easy.
If I have anything more than this on my desktop I get itchy.
