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 already explained that it’s perfectly common for things to seem similar or identical when they are far more different than they seem. Humans often find patterns when there are none.
And I also already explained I looked at the DDG site and I didn’t happen to find that page. I did find articles on other sites mentioning that they source from Bing, but didn’t really mention to what extent.
So, yes. You are absolutely being a dick by assuming I did none of that and acting the way you are. I literally only was asking for more information and explaining why.
You also left out this large piece of context which definitely makes it less straightforward that “all their results are identical enough to make them the same” as you claim
We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing.

Now stop acting so disingenuous.

Talk about being a dick.
You saw identical results and were unconvinced?
Did you bother looking at the DDG site at all?

Largely sourced, technically not identical.

Oh, so you’re just a troll.
Are you just naturally this much of an asshole, or do you have to work at it?
