I use DuckDuckGo as my main search engine, what better product endorsement is there?

“DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources,[46] including Yahoo! Search BOSS; Wikipedia; Wolfram Alpha; Bing; its own Web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); and others.[3][46][47] It also uses data from crowdsourced sites, including Wikipedia, to populate "Zero-click Info" boxes – grey boxes above the results that display topic summaries and related topics.[11]”

If you have reasonably sized website then you can asily check user agents of bots that crawl it and compare how much or how little they crawl compared to the big boys
Searching them is about the same as searching on Bing or Yahoo (powered by Bing)Comment
