The page I linked above doesn't mention DuckDuckHack. Are you quoting that from a different source? It does mention DuckDuckBot which is their own web crawler.

  Hey cool, then that page changed recently. I hadn't heard of duckduckbot, that's exciting!

    Same! I knew about duckduckhack, but that it had been put in "maintenance mode" a couple years ago, but wasn't aware that DDG had started operating their own crawler. It's exciting to see--I'm hopeful they'll be able to leverage it to improve their result quality and capabilities while staying privacy-friendly.

      They have been crawling for a while and AFAIK the data is used at their instant answers, not on search results.
