Does DDG do all their own crawling? If I remember correctly, they mix Bing and some of their own crawling to get you a search.

- mayank 14y agoYes, it's more of a meta-search engine that fuses results from Bing, Yandex, etc.
- DanBC 14y agoThey do a bit of their own crawling. They take other people's crawls; Google and Bing spend a lot of money on crawling and it's odd to try to compete against those. DDG also take a lot of other people's crawls. DDG then add a layer on top. For example, 'official sites' are identified. (I was reading about this just this morning, and frustratingly I cannot find the post again.)
