Why? Because it is down or because you just noticed that is is basicly just a Bing-Proxy?

Probably because it's down. I for one am surprised they have no failover for when Bing goes down.

I'm more surprised bing doesn't have a fail over for whenever bing goes down.

It’s my backup search engine. I use Brave and Searx as the main search engines.
