I've heard that a few times on DDG-related articles this past week but I was under the impression that the duck had its own crawlers and used Bing on top of that to complete its results. Do they really solely proxy Bing results?

Mostly Bing for any non trivial query. As far as I see, they never give actual numbers / breakdown and try hard to divert attention from this. If they do i would love to know.

Yes, they have their own crawler but it's only used for widget stuff like Instant Answers. https://duck.co/help/results/sources https://duck.co/help/results/sources
