Not sure about bing, but DuckDuckGo is basically Yahoo with the search spam filtered out. On heavily spammed searches DDG has become noticeably better, IMO.

- parfe 16y agoYahoo is powered by Bing. What do you mean that DDG is basically yahoo?
- gamble 16y agoDDG is built on Yahoo BOSS, (Build Your Own Search Service) Yahoo's white-label search engine API. DDG adds spam filtering and some custom indexing on top, but the bulk of their data comes from Yahoo's index. AFAIK BOSS is still Yahoo technology, not bing. There may be a plan to migrate BOSS to bing.
