I'm really hoping another company is able to pick up the Cliqz search index. Having an option to Google and Bing is important.

DDG is going, "Am I a joke to you?"

DDG doesn't operate their own index, they use Bing.

IIRC, they do actually have their own index too.

Source for their own index?

I was just remembering from another HN comment a while back, but there is this: https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-source-of-DuckDuckGo-search-...

Looks to be answered by someone at DDG confirming it.

Seems like DDG would be going "we're an obvious candidate to benefit from that".

Or maybe not, I have no idea the technical details.

DDG also depends on Bing somewhat.

Having access to Cliqz' crawler would help reduce that dependence.

To be clear, though, DDG does have a crawler of its own, and has historically used Yandex data as well (though I don't know if they still do). IIRC they also used Yahoo, but now that's basically indistinguishable from Bing.

Private Search [1] is also not based on Google or Bing.
