It's also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

Qwant, who claim that they have their own index, is also down. Coincidence...

Qwant uses their own index, but supplements it with Bing if they don't have enough info (or for images).

Qwant works for me, so probably a coincidence.

Edit: nvm it only works intermittently
