I think you’re correct, goggle plus several other engines. However, my understanding is the Duck does not pass any personal info forward to anyone and uses its own proprietary algorithms to evaluate and prioritize the search results.

I was a webmaster some 15 years ago and one of the tools I had then was to observe the search engine bots crawling the site continuously. At that time, I do not recall ever seeing a Duck bit crawling for their own content data.
