DDG runs on bing, so that squares. Apparently, MS uses Bing for their portal, because I can't search inside Azure portal neither.

like a very large number of things we are pitched as search engines: https://www.searchenginemap.com/

The lack of status pages is annoying. Neither Bing, Ecosia or DuckDuckGo have one.

Does it vary by region? Mine works fine for bing.

Bing is sluggish but seems to work sometimes now.

I wonder if it's a DDoS attack on Bing.

....can you really DDoS Bing?

works for me 8 minutes later, idk

Maybe today's the day we find out DDG is just a UI to an Amazon Go-style backend: a room full of workers in India typing the queries into Bing and copy/pasting the results back to you.

Wow. This.

It has not been down for me.
