#192> Hopefully DDG will be back soon, as I'm loathe to go back to Google for search. Maybe Kagi is an option for you? I'm very happy with them and exclusively use them for more than a year now after never getting comfortable with DDG.
I concur on Kagi. Now when I go to other search engines I just get frustrated.

#193A Microsoft outage is the source of this problem:
A massive Microsoft outage affects Bing.com, Copilot for web and mobile, Copilot in Windows, ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo.
Microsoft outage started at approximately 3 AM EDT and seems to have primarily affected users in Asia and Europe.

#194Whats up with the 'surprised' comments about ddg? I don't like ddg myself, but it has never been a secret that they base their results on bing.

Came here to praise Kagi (and Brave Search) as well.

#198Maybe this forces DDG and ChatGPT to make their own search engine index and corpus. Sure it might be a few years too late for the former, but thats probably what they said 5 years ago too.
Brave is genuinely impressive here in having their own index (granted, that’s the result of an acquisition rather than their own volition).

#199Actually Qwant.com uses bing API too and has a warning at the top of their homepage.
Yeah I saw this too. DDG was down, so I searched (on Wikipedia!) for another search engine. Tried Qwant for the first time, and it's also down.

#200Is there any possibility that the latest Windows 11 update which is going out to "Insiders" now could be massively increasing the load on CoPilot / Bing infrastructure?
