DDG has better results anyway
Google's results these days are shit. The other day I googled an exact terraform resource and included "terraform" in my search query. The first result should've been the page for that resource in terraform's documentation, but that page wasn't in the results at all. What was there was a blogspam copy of said page.
Doesn't DDG just use Bing?
No, they operate their own crawlers.
Per https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/:
Oh interesting. I've seen their crawlers in my server logs, didn't know they were using it to augment Bing.
