Anyone who prefers not to use Google when searching has been out of luck since Thursday morning: the most popular search engine alternatives are down. This affects DuckDuckGo, Ecosia and Bing. All of them rely on the Microsoft index. Bing itself reacts very slowly at times. DuckDuckGo, on the other hand, only displays an error message instead of search results.
However, it is not yet known exactly where the problem lies.
You can still search for content without Google and the affected services. The AI search engines Perplexity.ai and You.com are available.
We will update as soon as there is news.
