Unsurprising given DDG simply repackages Bing results

  “DuckDuckGo gets its results from over four hundred sources. [..] we also source from multiple partners, most commonly from Bing” [1]: https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/ https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/so...

    The omitted [..] bit is kind of relevant, since it makes clear that the hundreds of sources are not for the main results.

      Yes, it is relevant, but I was replying to a statement which wasn't accurate. We can have different opinions of what “results” mean, but the linked DDG FAQ piece is on their view of Results Sources and what that is. Their results for “Tank Man” (and others) though, has the same shortcomings as Bing proper – so their reliance on Bing is absolutely a limiting factor for all to see.

    That's marketing speak, in reality the overwhelming majority are simply Bing results.
    • Jiocus 5y ago
      Yes, most commonly so.
