DDG doesn't actually have their own search engine though right? They are using Yahoo/Bing on the backend?

DDG does have its own search engine, but it also takes advantage of the dataset Yahoo/Bing collected.

They also have a custom blacklist of spam sites that will not show up in search results, even if they are indexed in the Bing dataset.
