>DDG is Bing
That contradicts what I find on Wikipedia.
DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources, including Yahoo! Search BOSS; Wikipedia; Wolfram Alpha; Bing; its own Web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); and others. It also uses data from crowdsourced sites, including Wikipedia, to populate "Zero-click Info" boxes – grey boxes above the results that display topic summaries and related topics.

- ars 9y agoThat paragraph is out of date, for example Yahoo! Search BOSS was discontinued a year and a half ago. The DuckDuckBot is hardly seen. I suspect that they initially attempted to do this, but as far as I know these days it's basically Bing. Maybe with a small amount of other sources mixed in.
