Has this ever happened with another large search engine?
nope, guess we are witnessing it
How do you know it doesn't happen every day at Bing?

#63Hey folks - we're back in business. Clearly Dax the Duck had a case of the Mondays!
The Mondays? No, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

#64Probably an operational issue, like an expired internal certificate I'd imagine. Very curious to see the post morten and root cause analysis.

#65now it's good. It's searching.

#66Image and video search works. Regular text search, maps and news are down. Did they forget to bay their Bing bill? EDIT: scratch that. DDG is back in business again. I would love to read a post-mortem.
Do they still use Bing ? I thought DDG had in-house search db.

The Duck Duck Bot crawls the web in some fashion but it is my understanding most of what's in their search result comes from their Bing indices. Correct me if I'm wrong.

#68Came here to see if I was crazy. Should be an interesting post-mortem, I wonder if someone dropped the production database...
Autocomplete in the search bar still works, so there’s some data out there.
I would have thought that the type of person compelled to use DDG, would disable autocomplete.
