No, I didn't, and in my first post I also said they aren't from bing:

I also said that I've used ddg for years. Presumably that had a reason?
I said the main results are pretty much straight bing, and have now backed it up, about as well as you can reasonably expect me to. That's all there's to it. Please don't interpret more into what I wrote, than what I actually wrote.

- iudqnolq 5y agoObviously they're saying (correctly) that the part that isn't true is the part where you said the search results aren't directly from bing. And by search results they clearly mean the list of links wherein you click on a link and go to a webpage that matches your query.
- Nicksil 5y ago>Obviously they're saying(correctly) that the part that isn't true is the part where you said the search results aren't directly from bing. This makes no sense. What I said is still there. I said that Bing is one source used to derive the results DDG returns.
- bscphil 5y ago> I said that Bing is one source used to derive the results DDG returns. No, you said it was one of many. Implying that there are other sources that users are likely to actually encounter in practice feeding the search results page. That's what your repliers are saying is untrue.
