Hold up. DDG returns Bing results? TIL. Is that true? How do we know? Do they state this, themselves?
Comment on Microsoft: Introducing Sudo for Windows
Salzkrebs@lemmy.world 4 months agoI hate searching for sway config stuff using DDG (which returns Bing results).
Chances are never zero that that there is an outdated MS product with the same name of what you’re searching.

Most of our search result pages feature one or more Instant Answers. 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. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

Wow okay. It’s not their only source, which I came to believe. That’s good, then. Thank you for the link and quote!
