   No idea about their filters, but I consider #Bing a failure at search. Their results are barely better than #Ask.com these days. Both #Yahoo and #DDG use their backend, but somehow have better results (but both are in steep decline).
   
   I do admit that it may vary based on the topics one searches for, but I've been trying out #Google alternatives for years, but no matter which I use, I eventually have to use Google (even if indirectly, such as via #StartPage or #Searx).

      @lnxw48a1 Been using DDG 95%-98% exclusively for about a year and while I think my "search formula" (search text) might have changed in that time, I rarely have to visit g for a search, maybe images, DDG seems to lack in that area.
