So you use Yahoo.com which itself uses Bing.com.

DuckDuchGo (DDG) is a meta search engine that relies on the Yahoo & Yandex search API (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Search_BOSS) and adds some related Wikipedia/Yelp/Yummly/etc. snips.

So if Bing.com implements a similar rank algorithms your DDG/Yahoo results will too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo
