I am not sure whether DDG or SearX results are optimised by someone, but it is different from what I would see on Google for a given topic.
Duckduckgo uses search results from Bing, combined with other search engines and their own bot if Wikipedia is to be believed.
No Google search results are used.
This explains why their results are so much worse than Google’s.
Palpable 2015 energy in this take right here.
