I thought I should check, for science - looks like they've improved search a lot since then. At least on Bing and DuckDuckGo* searching for beaver college only showed legit results even with Safe Search disabled, aside from one ebaumsworld joke link.
*which I believe proxies searches anonymously through ~~Google~~ (I was corrected, it used Bing and several other sources but not Google)
i'm pretty sure ddg uses bing, but I am probably wrong, and don't have the motivation to look it up.
The duck uses bing/yahoo/wolfram/their own crawler and a few other services. Funnily enough google is the one they never use.
Oof yep bad memory. Thanks for correcting me. That explains why the Bing results looked so similar.
