If I want to access google (which is pretty damn rare), there's DDG's !g, and the "No more matches found, check google." link at the end.
For me, it is easier to prefix my search string with !g than to hit the back button. Especially if I already navigated a few pages through DDG results.
The back button is also an annoyance when, for example, I had an open tab, wrote a search string into the address bar and hit enter by mistake: I'd want to get back to the page I originally was at, so I hit back, and I get your search engine selection screen.
Isn't that intuitive in that case, I'm afraid.
The idea is good, but... I don't think it'd work well for this kind of thing.
