#1 I thought duckduckgo was supposed to be less biased. What's going on with that?

#4 Re #2: read earlier today (link down the memory hole) that DDG uses Bing which is where the problem originated.

BTW__ hadn't heard of CFP before but now it's bookmarked, so the Streisand Effect is in full operation

#5 DDG uses Bing? Well, that's disappointing. I avoid Bing at every opportunity.

#6 Yep, DDGo is powered by Bing's search engine.

Wikipedia has a great breakdown of the different engines and if they are powered by someone else.

#7 Thanks for link, DV. I was thinking about old "Ask Jeeves"...now just ask DOT com now. I thought AJ just went away.

#8 Read this morning that Apple is creating a Google alternative. Not sure what I think about that. Apple has been getting better lately, i think.
