True, though this is a little out of date, DDG has built much of their own cache now. Bing is still their failover, but they've gotten a lot more independent. That said, I don't generally care for it's derivative-of-bing results, and has had some privacy oopsies lately that steer me away.
The way MS is moving, I really don’t want to keep using DDG if they are integral. I couldn’t really find much on the deal they made but DDG has done things for them that make me uneasy.
DDG is not a search engine.
Why isn't it?
It uses Bing and Yahoo. All it does is anonymize the query before it’s sent to them.
Bing is a search engine. Yahoo is a search engine. Google Search is a search engine. DDG is just a broker in all this.
