There are no DDG results: DDG serves Bing results. What you are really saying is that you prefer Bing to Google results.

- zuron7 8y agoNo they aren't. DuckDuckGo does add some of their own stuff in there. Ending up with different results. You can verify.
- utopcell 8y agoOf course they have other stuff, but their web search results come directly from Yahoo/Bing and the Russian search engine Yandex. This is widely known [1]. On their FAQ though [2], they mention Yahoo and Bing, but "forget" to mention Yandex.

- Kiro 8y agoCan someone explain why all the comments mentioning this get downvoted? utopcell even links to DuckDuckGo directly where they openly confirm it.
- mda 8y agoYes they do, mostly bing + yahoo and yandex. Do they give which percentage of backends they use for any non trivial search?
- mda 8y agoplus they really sell themelves as the all gloriuos knight, savior of people from evils of big bad wolf. Fine, but who is actually under the shiny helmet? Answer is not that glorious. The knight is just a puppet.
