    "This is a cursory review of all the indexing search engines I have
    been able to find.

    The three dominant English search engines with their own
    indexes are Google, Bing, and Yandex (GBY). Many alternatives
    to GBY exist, but almost none of them have their own results;
    instead, they just source their results from GBY.

    which emphasises how DDG relies mainly on Bing for results, as
    reported on that search engine comparison page.
