DuckDuckGo is a search engine, like Google/Bing. This is a tool that uses those search engines and then combines the results. It's useful because Google sometimes has way better search results (imho) than DuckDuckGo, and this site gives you a way to search Google while being tracked less.

DuckDuckGo is also mostly just a meta-search engine. They do have their own webcrawler, but most results are still sourced from Yahoo!, Bing and the like.

You can search Google from DDG as well. In fact by using the same style bang prefixes as you do in Searx
