They seem to only use their crawler for Instant Answer type results while all their "traditional links" come from "a variety of partners, including Verizon Media (formerly Yahoo) and Bing".
- IndexPointer 7y agoThe text in their help is confusing, but it kind of implies that their crawler is for answers only, and that web results come from Bing and yahoo (which is powered by Bing).
- skinnymuch 7y agoIt’s not augmenting when almost all their results are from Bing. Most people on HN seem to try to spin it that way. Which isn’t correct.
