DuckDuckGo is down. Is there any info about it?? [EDIT: IS BACK]
It's also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

This is a good time to use your 100 free searches using kagi.com
Not affiliated - but after having used mine I started paying for it. No SEO spam. No ads. Just good search results.
Ok. I went to that site, and I'm scrolling down... I get to the video demo of their searches, and it shows the exact same thing I last searched for... in the demo video? Am I losing my fucking mind here?
I don't know Jonathan, are you? Why don't take a pause from your phone an take your dog Abby for a walk in the park as you usually do? The house's keys are in the blue jacket. Take care. 👁 👁
Lmao, even though none of that is remotely accurate, it's still creepy as hell to read. Nice work.
I know, but there was that one in a million chance to really creep you out.🤣
Yeah, I go by Jon, and my dog's name is Abigail, but I call her Shabby. You nailed the blue coat part, though.
Have you ever watched the Truman Show? Can't say more at this time. Good luck!
I'd heard the name, but hadn't paid attention to them. Looks like it's a "you pay us, we provide search results, we don't log your search activity" service, which is pretty much what I wanted, so I'm gonna try subscribing to them. They seem okay, but honestly, as long as a search engine is reasonably usable and doesn't data-mine me, I'm not too picky. Thanks for the recommendation.
Btw as I discovered, it’s 100 searches total, then you either pay, gtfo, or sign up under a different address.
That’s clear on their pricing page.
Yeah.
Do you know if you can just pay the difference to upgrade from simple to unlimited? I'm pretty sure I will gobble the 300 searches but they claim that 99% of people do not.
Yeah you can. When I upgraded from the then middle tier to the unlimited I just paid the difference pro rata iirc
