It wasn't widely reported, but DuckDuckGo recently bought Yippy, which was a semi-decent search engine with its own crawler and index.
edit: DuckDuckGo did not buy Yippy. Yippy.com seems to be defunct and just redirects to DuckDuckGo.com
- yegg 5y agoThis is actually a false rumor. We did not buy them, and we actually have had no relationship with Yippy.
- analyte123 5y agoWow! At first when I saw the Yippy.com redirect to DDG, because it was so "sloppy" I had assumed the truth, which was they just shut it down and redirected. But this was falsely reported in a few places and even Wikipedia has an uncited claim that they were bought by you guys. It's kind of sad that they shut it down. They actually had a decent index and a unique "category" thing on the sidebar that you could use to narrow down search results.
