I made DDG my default and was surprised by how well it works how. I do believe it sources many of it's results from Bing.

For what it fails to find well I just prepend !g to my query and have it bounce me over to Google.

Google results are more often then not trash now, so I don't think the bar is too high for competitors now.

It does, yes, but not only Bing. At least report, it aggregates from about 400 different sources, and they also run their own crawler.

They used to have a list of the other engines they use, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
