DuckDuckGo uses Bing as well, so I'm not sure why it's better for you than Yahoo or bing.com. I personally am fine using DDG, as it provides the results I'm looking for and doesn't track me for asking.

According to Wikipedia:

DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google.

That explains why the results are better than Bing for me.
