I'm really hoping another company is able to pick up the Cliqz search index. Having an option to Google and Bing is important.

- bdcravens 6y agoDDG is going, "Am I a joke to you?"
- infinityplus1 6y agoDDG also depends on Bing somewhat.
- yellowapple 6y agoHaving access to Cliqz' crawler would help reduce that dependence. To be clear, though, DDG does have a crawler of its own, and has historically used Yandex data as well (though I don't know if they still do). IIRC they also used Yahoo, but now that's basically indistinguishable from Bing.
- luhn 6y agoDDG doesn't operate their own index, they use Bing.
- GordonS 6y agoIIRC, they do actually have their own index too.
- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoSource for their own index?
- GordonS 6y agoI was just remembering from another HN comment a while back, but there is this: https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-source-of-DuckDuckGo-search-results https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-source-of-DuckDuckGo-search-... Looks to be answered by someone at DDG confirming it.

- code_duck 6y agoSeems like DDG would be going "we're an obvious candidate to benefit from that". Or maybe not, I have no idea the technical details.
