Seems like most new search engines are “bing + some other sources.” Just wondering, does Bing charge for this use?

Personally, in the past month I’ve noticed a significant degradation of results from DDG, and since I don’t know what’s going on I just blame Bing. Because of that, each time we have posts about alternative engines I first check to see if they’re not using Bing. But they all are!

Yes, Bing charges for use of their API. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/pricing
