DuckDuckGo isn't showing any search results?
Hi everyone, we are experiencing a partial search engine outage that should be coming back to normal shortly (feathers crossed). Sorry for any inconvenience. If you receive no results on something, please try again.
LOOOOOOL feathers crossed
Because it's a duck and not a human who has fingers, see?
Bing was down as well, Iām assuming the issues are related.
Search (on Google, lol) for "DuckDuckGo Bing partnership".
DDG and Yahoo-Bing do share some data. And apparently also some search engine servers, lol.
Yes
Weird.
How worrying - lets hope its temporary and google haven't unleashed mass destruction :D
Down for me too. Does DDG have a "status page"? ex. https://discordstatus.com/
In the menu there's a link to their Twitter page but it didn't have anything about this outage at the time of writing.
yeah it's broken
Yikes what r u guys trying to say. Google is the mark? Or the anti
The hell are YOU trying to say?
I like duck duck
It's working now yay
Client is doing bunch of tracking requests to improving.duckduckgo.com - this is worrying.
The "improving.duckduckgo.com" has been around for at least a year now, you can disable it in settings.
Edit: upon checking, No settings are available to disable the improving requests.
OISD with NextDNS or anyother app. dns blocker blocks improving.duckduckgo.com

don't use yahoo, google or bing they aren't really useable because they don't only search they try to adapt(censor) your searches.

How does this all work? I need to figure out truly safe surfing.
Same here. Wonder what the issue is.
Also for me
Yep
Same thing here. When I try to search for a term like "qwerty", I get "No results found for qwerty.", but I get the Wikipedia box on the right.
Yeah me too, unable to search anything on there.
same
Yeah same, no results
same here, good that we can quickly come here for confirmation
yeah I was worried that it's just me
Same
Edit: Back now
I thought I was going crazy
No search results. Yes, right pane "info boxes."

Incidentally, I tried using Ecosia in the mean time. For a service trying to save trees/energy, you'd think they'd embrace dark mode š
that's awesome - thanks for sharing!
Black and dark colors use more energy unless you have an OLED screen, then 100% black the pixels aren't powered. But with an lcd screen the white backlight has to be covered/darkened by a filter screen that's activated by electricity, so dark colors use more energy on lcds.
Orly? I had no idea. I thought all lights used additive colour
I've noticed that normal search is dead, but videos and images seem fine
It's not that DDG is down. Scienticts from renowned, anonymous institutions found out that information-based Internet is no longer needed as people rely solely on videos from homemade experts and cat memes. Therefeore non-multimedia data was purged from the Internet.
Understandable, tbh this should've happened years ago
I knew we were headed towards a world which communicates solely in memes, GIFs, emojis, and acronyms!
and it's back up now
Still down for me, no results no matter what I search for.
EDIT: Hooray, it's back three minutes later.
I restarted my browser and its now working, you can try guys
No need to restart the browser, it was a problem with DDG's servers.
yeah just double checked and its yet not working, lets wait for them to fix it soon
Me too! Wierd.
it now seems to work again
I noticed that too, but now it looks like it is back.
Yup "no search results found" if all of us are having it too then something is wrong and they will likely fix it soon.
Yep, zero results.
Down for me too.
Duck duck is down now
I just checked and Iām getting results
Both?????:/
I guess the duck have to go to the Pond for some R&R, and get feeling better, so they can keep quacking past Google. I hope they get up up and quacking again soon.
