Maybe it's just me, but search engines suffer from a vicious circle. Noone uses your search engine unless you have enough indexed pages, and you can't index the entire web (or even a small portion of it) unless you have enough generated $$$ for high-performance servers. That probably explains why search engine space is dominated by a few power players, with newer players like DuckDuckGo being used by only a dedicated bunch of fans.
