Their FAQ hems and haws about that, but (in the past) I've done side-by-side tests and found identical results. Maybe something's changed, maybe it hasn't.
it must have done by now, then, I get different results from identical prompts in DuckDuckGo and Bing although both are usually relevant.
"DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google."
are you having trouble finding something specifically or you just don't like the quality of the search results you're finding in general?
definitely if you're still on Google, stop using it.
It's completely useless at this point.
