Duckduckgo uses multiple search engines and does not just pipe queries into bing

    They sure try to make it sound like that, but I ran a side-by-side comparison with sandboxed Bing and kept getting identical results.

    Given that they've been in business for nearly 20 years, maintain their own crawler and have said multiple times they source results from a variety of sources I'd feel incredibly cheated if they were just returning bing results.

    Plus I use bing at work and ddg results feel* better.

    Pretty much anything feels better than "Binging it," but misleading people for a long time is nothing new.

    I dont think theyre shipping raw bing results I just tested 5 searches and the 1St page of results was different between ddg and bing. Quite significantly and its jarring how shit bing is.
