OK i will be that guy: wrong! first, ddg has only a single source of data. and it's Microsoft bing. yahoo doesn't have any search and Google gave the middle finger to ddg. ddg links to many sources. if you add !g you go to Google. if you add !i you go to Bing images. etc. but any search on ddg site is only Bing and nothing else. lastly, and ironically, Yahoo is the only one still fighting for freedom online. i think it's one of the perks of being an underdog with lots of money. see how recently they were the first to publish several secret government data requests.

  Yahoo does not run its own search engine anymore; the results at search.yahoo.com are served up by Bing.[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8174763.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8174763.stm]

    Interesting. You got me googling and it seems the bing thing is not exclusive. Yahoo apparently has a partnership with google as well. http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/20/9577519/yahoo-google-search-deal http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/20/9577519/yahoo-google-sear...
