I use ecosia.org wich is like ddg, but a part of the proceeds go into charity. Not affiliated with them, just like it a lot.

Like ddg it's just Bing with a gimmick, but it's decent.

Is that true? I've read images are served by Bing, not sure about the web search.

DDG is like "Dr Pepper" of search engines.

Coke/Pepsi create, market, manufacture, distribute their soda.

Dr. Pepper just creates and markets their soda. They don't manufacture or distribute their own soda (believe it or not, Pepsi manufactures & distribute Dr Pepper soda).

Web search is served by the Bing Web Search API.
