@Theriac @falcennial I didn't realize they'd moved to Bing... I was just having a minor crisis of "was it my imagination?" but they *do* still seem to be objectively better than DDG insofar as they get results from inside of github while DDG did not seem to... Huh.

They have aggregate results and Bing is one of their sources. The main difference is DDG tends to be more scattershot in its approach - between the two I find startpage faster at finding what I'm looking for
