- TaylorAlexander 5y agoDDG uses Bing for results I’ve heard? So they’re falling prey to the censorship of their provider.
- toxik 5y agoRight, which is an implementation detail to some extent
- KirillPanov 5y agoIt's not an "implementation detail". It's a problem with the fact that the Internet has only two functioning crawlers remaining.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoDon't forget Yandex.
- mananaysiempre 5y agoThree, arguably—Yandex still exists and is generally pretty decent in addition to being the best at dealing with Russian morphology (although relying on it after Segalovich’s death seems foolish).
- hn8788 5y agoI don't think they did. I searched for Tank Man, and the first result is the wikipedia article, followed by nothing but articles about him and the Tiananmen Square Massacre. The images section seems to be the only one that's acting weird, because if I search for "Tank Man China" it shows a bunch of pictures of him.
- InitialLastName 5y agoDoesn't DDG mostly rely on Bing for its results? So a result that's suspiciously missing from Bing would be likely to also be missing from DDG, unless their indexing and crawling is more comprehensive than I thought.
