Ask HN: Is You.com the next type of search engine?
I discovered You.com a couple of weeks ago and gave it a try but I'm still unsure of it. The biggest disadvantage is the horizontal scroll but this is just UI/UX. More important are the search results itself.
I wonder if they just use Bing in the background like DuckDuckGo or if they developed their own search engine. Anybody knows more details?
What do you think of You.com?

- DougMellon 5y agoMy current DDG search strategy has evolved to a point where I simply tag the website I think will have the best answer — ie. "My question stack overflow", "my question hacker news", etc.
- komape 5y agoWith Stack Overflow I use the same approach. Unfortunately, DDG shows only one SO result while Google shows multiple. Then I wonder why I don't search directly on the SO site.
