It’s also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.
UPDATE 2
It’s also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.
Anything that uses Microsoft APIs is down.
I thought Startpage uses Google?
it’s been using both for a while.
Ah I didn’t know that! Thanks!
Startpage web search uses google primarily and startpage mobile search uses bing primarily. That’s why the mobile search was down but not the web search.
