IMVHO you shoudn't. They are both companies that run proprietary service outside user control.
If you want a different approach you should use something like YaCy witch is a FOSS, distributed, search engine, based on solr. So something you can know (have the code) and that does not run on a single company server.
- brentadamson 8y agoI agree and don't like the proprietary nature of DDG and others. YaCy has no !bangs, no instant answers and you have to install it. I've made an open source version of DDG with !bangs, instant answers, etc. We are hosted on Digital Ocean but feel free to run it on your own server or even locally. https://jivesearch.com https://jivesearch.com
