I stated that they are identical, not just similar, and literally told you how to check it for yourself. Nothing is stopping you from verifying, or reading their FAQ where they even admit that they use Bing for most of their results.
I literally did that and I was not convinced, nor do I think that is good enough evidence. I did not find anything on their site about how much of their results are from Bing.
There’s no need to be such as asshole. Why the shit would I take your word when you’re needlessly being such a dick because I simply am asking for more information? Jesus fuck.
i think so, but the results are in any case mostly okay in my experience, and they have an AI feature that ACTUALLY WORKS since it just summarizes relevant parts of wikipedia articles and links you to the precise sections it used.
Yes, but I use it over Bing because Bing filters most of its news articles through MSN and then pressures you to download the app. Either way, both are giving me better results than Google at this point.
Yeah i was mostly referring to pre ai enshitification google. Back when all they did was search the web for you and show you a single text ad, those were the days.
Im also inclined to agree that search in general has gone downhill, but that is more the fault of tech corps locking away info while seo ruins the leftover results.
I’m worried when ml models really take off the current web dies completely between corpos milking it to death, seo producing nothing but hollow, vapid nonsense to keep you engaged with their non information; and then as final nail in the coffin the ml model ability to entirely fabricate virtually anything digital, truth and information will be completely gone.
Some of us left it behind quite awhile ago:-).
DuckDuckGo is just Bing.
It’s not just Bing. They added an animal mascot. :-D
In terms of results, yes. But at least there’s no ads, nor sponsored results, nor bloody AI crap.
Please explain
Nice. Downvoted for asking for more information.
It’s powered by Bing. That’s all. Compare DDG results with a private Bing session.
So, it uses Bing to some extent, I’ll take that. But it’s not entirely Bing.
Even if a large part of DDG relies on Bing doesn’t mean they are the same. That’s an oversimplification at least.
To a great extent. To the point that search results are identical.
Since the entire topic is about the quality of results, the comparison is quite valid.
I’m going to need more than “they look similar”. I don’t think it’s a smart thing to trust random people on the internet based off their word alone.
Lots of things could seem similar when they are still very different.
I stated that they are identical, not just similar, and literally told you how to check it for yourself. Nothing is stopping you from verifying, or reading their FAQ where they even admit that they use Bing for most of their results.
Now stop acting so disingenuous.

Doesn’t that just use Bing?
Yes. Go ahead and find a free Google alternative that doesn’t.

And use what instead of??
Duckduckgo, searxng, and if you are willing to pay, kagi is far better than google was.
“is” absolutely, “was” there was a time in the mid-teens when Google’s search was god-like in its powers of finding what I wanted.
Duckduckgo is ok but not great even, although search in general is harder nowadays I think
I noticed a decline in google right around 2015.
2012 it was the best thing running.

Kagi has some problems
