- godelski 7y agoThat doesn't suggest anything that the OP is saying. Google does similar things. We wouldn't say that searching DDG is like searching Stack Overflow. Or it is like searching Yelp.
- Thorrez 7y agoThere's a difference between getting results from sites that contain content (Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Yelp) and sites that are pure search engines (Bing).
- godelski 7y agoThere's also a difference between reskinning a search engine and aggregating other engines' results with your own.
- Thorrez 7y agoSure, and AFAIK Google does neither of those, so it would be wrong to say "Google does similar things".
- godelski 7y ago> AFAIK Google does neither of those > it would be wrong to say "Google does similar things" This does not follow. It also isn't what I was suggesting, but it would surprise me if Google didn't look at what Bing and Yahoo were doing (and DDG).
