Duck duck go simply proxies other search engines. While they have been gaining traffic, they will never be as good as google/bing etc.

Good privacy focused search requires novel innovations and a solid attempt to "solve" the problem rather than simply wrapping some other engine.

They should have some small team working on their own search engine. A handful of skilled programmers can accomplish a lot over a couple of years.
