Does anyone here understand how it is that Bing is powering DDG?
Does DDG just generate lots of Bing searches and scrape the result? If so, why wouldn't MS block them?
Or did they strike some sort of deal? If so, how can that be in Bing's interest? They're just creating a Bing competitor, right? Given that Bing reasonably wants to be the #2 search engine, supporting a formidable competitor striving for the same spot doesn't sound like a winning strategy for Bing. Right?
