DDG talks to all the search engines. It uses tons of them. Everyone except Google it looks like.
Before sending the query on your behalf, they simply anonymize it. Then return the results. DDG doesn’t actually perform a single search. So how can it be a search engine??
I know this is splitting hairs but I don’t get what many of you are struggling with. DDG just talks to existing engines on your behalf.
It does that, too, yes. But as I mentioned above it in fact does have its own web crawler and search algorithm, just like other search engines.
It combines the results which makes DDG technically a true search engine, even though it improves its results by utilizing other search enignes, too.
Shall we agree to this?

Email them be ask them if they a search engine.
