I always wondered the specifics of their deal with Microsoft regarding the use of bing index. Guess we will never know.

What specifics? Wouldn’t they just pay MS for access to the API (though with some special volume discount that won’t be public)?

Yes, but what data do they pass onto MS and what do they do with that data? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31051050

I asked Kagi, and they said they aren’t forced to send such data and aren’t.

And unless Ecosia (where the quote seems to come from) is extremely shady, they are only sending two octets and not three.
