I don't want to sound like an astroturfer but bing results have actually gotten much better too. Though search is a big field and something I wouldn't mind mozilla getting into too.

That's why DDG's results have been getting better, since it's Bing underneath.

  This is an oft repeated misconception, their results come from multiple sources. (ddg user since ~2013, and there were times when they did heavily favor yandex or bing usually, but these days the sources are much more varied, and they also have their own crawler called duckbot I think)

    Bing is still the main source.

    https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/ https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/so... Sounds to me that the 400 sources and their own crawler are used for Instant Answers, while all their "traditional links" come from Bing and Verizon.

      I guess I stand corrected. I wonder why the results are so much better than bing in that case?
