DuckDuckGo and Bing are down
6 comments
It was every search engine except google. Hmm.
It appears they are routing around issues at bing and yahoo: https://twitter.com/duckduckgo/status/897501100412030976
I have been using DDG off and on all morning, as recently as 2 minutes ago. It was fine all morning but it was very, very slow. Apparently its heavy and steadily increasing use is causing issues for the site.
Still seeing lots of "No results" screens here for queries that definitely should have results, though every so often it works OK.
It must be something with a US data center then, as every search returns no results fairly quickly.
Both fine here (UK)
DuckDuckGo [https://duckduckgo.com]:
"No results. Try:" + Search suggestions + Instant answers
Bing [https://www.bing.com/]:
"It's not you, it's us.
Bing isn't available right now, but everything should be back to normal very soon."
EDIT: DuckDuckGo statement: https://twitter.com/duckduckgo/status/897497301106663425
