This is most likely that Google has more user behavior data than DDG. If enough people use DDG and click on the StackExchange link for that query (or similar queries), DDG will be able to get that to the top.
On the other hand, did DDG just use Bing API, and only Blekko crawls the web? Or do I get my search engines mixed up?
- greglindahl 13y agoThat's correct, blekko does have our own multi-billion page crawl and index. And we're private, too. Every web search engine depends on one of these indexes: google, bing, blekko, yandex, baidu.
- boyter 13y agoDon't forget Gigablast, Procog, Yioop and Samuru which also have their own crawled index.
- greglindahl 13y agoIf you think those are viable sources of results, then by all means include them.
- boyter 13y agoPersonally I don't, but it should be noted that there are other indexes besides what you have mentioned. That said Samuru and Procog are pretty interesting.

- isaacb 13y agoDDG actually uses a handful of search engines (including Bing), though I think that Yahoo! is the primary source.
- brymaster 13y agoYahoo search results are already 'powered by' Bing.
