DDG is powered by Bing plus other APIs and their own crawler.
https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/ https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources...
> To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia.
> We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results.
> we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoI was responding to someone who said DDG is “just a proxy for Bing”. Not that the things in on that page aren’t true but I fail to see how that makes it a proxy; “proxy” suggests that the query actually goes through Bing servers. Sourcing from a service is not the same as proxying through it.
