Compare results without assuming independent sources
DuckDuckGo describes multiple result sources in its help. Switching engines does not mean every link comes from an entirely separate index. Compare original documents and producers rather than counting search engines.
- Method
- Open original pages after searching.
- Independence
- Compare producers and cited documents.
- Links and Instant Answers
- Traditional links and images are largely sourced from Bing; Instant Answers combine specialist and collaborative sources. Different result types on one page may therefore have different origins.
Source: DuckDuckGo — Search result sources · consulted on - Checking independence
- DuckDuckGo also maintains its own crawler and indexes. Cross-check the documents and publishers found, rather than counting two search engines as two independent pieces of evidence.

Are two engines showing one link two pieces of evidence?
No. They locate the same document. Find another independent source.
