Aw neat; I didn't know about that feature of DuckDuckGo. I used to have similar keywords configured in my browser ("gg", "wiki", etc), but as the years go on I've become less and less willing to invest that time every time I switch to a new computer. Now I have a reason to set DDG as my default search engine again.


DDG is built on Bing, and their business model is the same as Google's. As long as you share this last part, search content quality will suffer.

We will need a company that does not rely on this model- ex: Apple


Try Searx, it allows filtering search results with one ! and redirection with two !!: https://searx.me/.


Yes, but what the comments are saying is that DDG has an advantage over other searches because their bangs allow anyone to easily use another websites search function, so by using DuckDuckGo you aren’t limited to Bing and DDGs search.


What makes Bing different than Apple?


The business model - i.e. how they make money
