It’s impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

      Which search engines do you use with it? Google? Bing? Something else?

        All of them.

        It shows you which ones “agree” on a given entry, so you can tune it to your tastes.

            No, I did change it, IIRC I enabled a lot of the ones that weren’t by default.

            I haven’t felt the need to use anything else in months, so I’d say it’s very much fit for purpose.

            You can always check out one of the instances available for free use to see how it performs.
