DDG is a meta search engine that uses mainly Yahoo and/or Yandex (depending on the region).
Yahoo had turned their Yahoo BOSSS API (acccess to Bing search engine) from free to pay-for-each-1000-queries and completely discontinued the API earlier this year. So now we learn DDG gets access, but no one else of the smaller fishes (other meta search engines, etc).
- yitchelle 10y agoFor the layman like me: if I do a search for "cute cats", does the results comes from Bing after it has been through Yahoo before DDG shows it? Who does the actual searching?
