		`> it does get most of its index from Bing` Its "index from Bing" makes it sound like they're paying to rsync-ing over the raw results of Bing's crawler from Microsoft or something. My understanding is that they're simply running a Bing search through Microsoft's API, so Microsoft is getting your search queries in real time. But you (supposedly) get the added anonymity of that going through DDG's servers, and their promise not to do some of their own tracking to put the two together, and they combine Bing's results with their own crawled results. Isn't that how it works?
