Why hasn't DDG grown internal search competency? It's been years, and there's still no sign of search being a first class concern at DDG. That seems like a number one must have for any search product company.

Rebranded Bing with a new interface isn't hard tech. It risks so much on the business relationship. They should be staffing for this yesterday.

Hire more search folks, DDG! Also, ditch that awfully long name.

would also like to hear from DDG ppl. On another note, Really appreciate DDG's map functionality using apple map with iaxm query parameter set "maps" and q set to whatever you want to search for:

It is refreshing to be able to use a usable map on tor without having to accept google big term of service.

Maybe because it's already a profitable business model as it is?

Because internal search costs a lot of money. Google has millions of search servers costing billions of dollars just for the hardware.
