Is it just me or duckduckgo search is broken for everyone?

I haven’t been getting any search results from duckduckgo since this morning when I started my computer.

I have tried several browsers and also on mobile.

Here is what I see:

And when I try again:

Is it just me?

No its not just you. Just tried a search and get a page saying

There was an error displaying the search results. [Please try again.]

Thanks @thefrog for trying and confirming that I am not the only one.

There must be something broken on their end then. It’s been several hours like this. Hopefully they will be able to fix it soon.

Was just reading a news message on a (Dutch) tech site about a worldwide problem with Bing, an because DDG uses Bing they seem to have a problem as well.

Great info @keescase! That must be it then.

Thanks for sharing!

Never had any problem with DDG finding stuff. What’s wrong with it?

That’s what happened when you’re so much independent.
