I meant "you" in a very general sense: I'm pretty sure it's possible, but no, I haven't done the necessary work (and I'm not very interested in doing it either). > I'm interested in examples of such cases. I suspect that a good way to find such an example might start by trying to think of websites which Google would specifically want to avoid (e.g. for legal or political reasons) while Microsoft wouldn't. This might be because it's related to a country which kicked out one of the two while the other managed to sign some kind of agreement or something like that. > Incorrect (or at least outdated): > > DuckDuckGo gets its results from over four hundred sources.
