        DuckDuckGo can search using almost any search engine anonymously. Want to search Bing? !b query. Google? !g query. Scratch this, I remembered wrong what those do.
        I do believe there’s a setting to aggregate the top results from several different engines as the default search algorithm.

            Ah, you’re right, my bad. I could have sworn I remembered a search syntax on ddg for searching different sites with an anonymous query - apparently ! operators are not it

          DuckDuckGo has a problem with booleans. I had to give up the Duck because of this. I’m using Mojeek, MetaGer and SearXNG these days.

      Don’t forget about bangs for searching alternate sites: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs !w = wikipedia, !e = ebay, !zillow = guess, !r = reddit, etc

      Just put your bang in front of the rest of the search you want to do on that site: !g why doesn’t Google use bangs? !ddg Why does Duck Duck Go use bangs?
