Maybe DDG is hoarding the results of every API call to Bing to build its own database. Then one day they can turn off the Bing integration and nobody will notice.

1) search results need to be dynamic over time

2) MSFT has clauses in its contract to address this. If a commenter on HN thinks of this one minute after reading the article, you can be sure that their legal team has thought about it too.

You can't hoard search results since they change. The same search in March may be different in April.
