Bing and Yandex are worth trying too. I just had a total failure from a Google search yesterday, where the official site for a piece of software wasn’t on the first 3 pages. I went over to bing and it was #1. I’m getting to the point where I predict a search will fail on google and I go to another engine. This never happened before, even in the Demand Media content farm debacle where horse shit ehow ranking for millions of major keywords.
I’ve been using the web since the best option was Yahoo’s hand curated directories. Google is in really serious trouble. These search engine switches happen very quickly, as soon as one of them is showing better results, the switch happens abruptly and it’s one way.
- dfrankow 7y agoIsn't ddg Bing results?
- frosted-flakes 7y agoDDG has their own crawler, but they augment results using Yandex and perhaps Bing too.
- IndexPointer 7y agoI remember reading that it uses only Bing for web results and their crawler for Wikipedia only.
- kube-system 7y agoI know they (at least used to) use some results from Yandex
- klingonopera 7y agoQuite sure Qwant does, but DDG does appear to have their own unique results. For your convenience: https://www.google.com/search?q=keris https://www.google.com/search?q=keris https://duckduckgo.com/?q=keris https://duckduckgo.com/?q=keris https://www.bing.com/search?q=keris https://www.bing.com/search?q=keris https://www.qwant.com/?q=keris https://www.qwant.com/?q=keris https://yandex.com/search/?text=keris https://yandex.com/search/?text=keris
- Kiro 7y agoTry "what is my ip" and you will see that DDG displays 207.46.13.131 in the cached snippets, which is Microsoft Bingbot and also the same IP that Bing shows in their cached snippets.
