Yeah, it's interesting to do comparison searches between ddg and bing. On a few random searches I found I got identical top results - things start to differentiate after the first four or five.

So it's like a metasearch engine which also includes crawling of their own. Similar to dogpile[0],

As far as I know they don't do any crawling on their own. It's also not meta: it's just bing and some special cases.
