Wait, duckduckgo search results are mostly bing? I'm not sure how I feel about this.:" DuckDuckGo gets its results from over four hundred sources. These include hundreds of vertical sources delivering niche Instant Answers, DuckDuckBot (our crawler) and crowd-sourced sites (like Wikipedia, stored in our answer indexes). We also of course have more traditional links in the search results, which we also source from multiple partners, though most commonly from Bing (and none from Google)."

@alastairImmediately "better" due to DDG privacy features. I use DDG for privacy, in spite of lower quality results than Google, but I never realised I was effectively using bing with a condom. I still feel dirty
