> DDG (usually) finds the article written on toomas.net, but not the indiehackers interview. Bing often fails to list toomas as the top result, and doesn't find the indiehackers interview at all.

Are you able to explain this? Bing and DuckDuckGo are the same thing. DDG uses Bing's API (for non bang searches).

I cannot explain it, hopefully someone from DDG actually chimes in :-) If they just use the Bing API, how can their results be better than Bing? I suppose they also use other sources.

https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/so... says "a variety of partners, including Oath (formerly Yahoo) and Bing."

I'm also seeing crawls from duckduckgobot so they're working on their own system at the moment. It may already be deployed for some easy queries.

I find their results are usually as crap as Bing, especially when you use a localized version. That's why I use StartPage (uses Google).

This is not, and has never been, true. Why do people like you keep saying it?

As far as I know duckduckgo used being for images and some other stuff, but not for the main text search.
