You realize that Yahoo is Bing right? Yahoo outsourced its native search engine to Microsoft a while ago and has served up results from them ever since.

apparently it does, in addition to other sources (https://dukgo.com/help/en_US/results/sources). But you are right about Bing being one of them. Though I wouldn't go so far as to say that duckduckgo is Bing like the gp said.

For most search queries, the results are identical or very similar, although DDG does a lot of enhancement/cleanup.
