DuckDuckGo is not it's own search engine. It's an aggregator of other search engines (mostly Bing).

I can't believe can't even do the tiniest bit of research.

DDG isn't an aggregator, and it doesn't use Bing any more than it uses Google, Wikipedia, StackOverflow or anything else.

And yet their own documentation says that their "normal" search results come from Oath (Yahoo) and... Bing:

The other sources are only for their "instant answers" that appear at the top.

From what Ive read, DDG uses Bing's API to populate its search results.

I was just trying to point out that Apple is unlikely to buy a search engine that relies on another competitor's product.
