Hum, DDG is using several sources I think (I have juste looked for the
answer the last 10 minutes, without having the answer…).
But the fact is that you can use bang! syntax in order to have google,
bing, or other results.
If Bing change their api license, I am sure they will adapt. If they
don't, we could hard write this !sp bang syntax then to ask DDG to
give us results from startpage, or simply revert to Google if people
go crazy (But change is evolution).
