Wait, Duck Duck Go is powered by Bing?

Yep, even when bing censors something, it gets censored by DDG aswell, DDG is just a fancy proxy.

There are only like 4 actual search indexes online (Google, Bing, Yandex, and I can't remember the 4th), and every other search engine just uses one or more of those for results.

I think Baidu, Qwant, Mojeek & Brave all use fully independent indices, but there are likely more. This is excliding eg. Kagi who use a combination of their own and other indices.

I actually thought Brave still used Bing, but Mojeek was what I was trying to think of. I'm sure there are a ton more, but those 4 seem like the biggest players most metasearch engines like to use.

stract.com has their own indexer, fully open-source.
