Honestly, I don't care how clean or nice the page design is, until it can't give me good results. Here is an example:
The other day, I was searching for a Django core developer's contact. I knew his exact name was Baptiste Mispelon so I searched that directly.
On Google [1] after his Twitter and Github accounts, the first picture is correct, and I did not have to do anything else, the contact infos are there, his picture is there, great.
On DuckDuckGo [2] the picture is not even close, and the first couple of results are not as useful as on Google [1].
I think it is a mistake to concentrate on clean design on a search engine until the searching algorithm is not that good. AFAIK Google's page ranking algorithm is well known, when I were in university I even heard stories that a student (going on the same class as me) reproduced the algorithms only on his own!
TL;DR: I want to search relevant information with a search engine, not to look some nice webpage.
