In my opinion, it is due to location. Bing returns 8 results on the first page, and DDG returns 10 results. At the top of the Bing page, I can see that Bing already takes my location into account (and it is precise, it is my city), so there is no box to tick. Once I tick the "location" box on DDG (it is only the country), I get 7 identical results out of 8 on the first page! The order is the same for results 1-4, the 5th result is different, the 6th result is identical, and results 7-8 are identical but their positions are swapped.
- leereeves 6y agoThat's interesting. By location, do you mean the box that says "All Regions"? I get the same results on DDG (different from Bing) whether I set that to "All Regions" or "US (English)".
- woko 6y agoFor me, it is a setting to tick, which mentions the country: https://i.imgur.com/fML3x0l.png https://i.imgur.com/fML3x0l.png (in French) Once it is set to my country (France), then I get almost identical results. I don't know how to deactivate this feature on Bing, so I could not compare Bing and DDG in the case where the "location" setting would be ticked off on both sites.
