Bing outage shows just how little competition Google search really has

Microsoft's search engine, Bing, experienced an outage early in the morning, affecting searches from Microsoft's Edge browsers and services relying on Bing's search API. While the services were restored, it raises concerns about the dependence on a single search platform. Many alternative search engines, including DuckDuckGo, rely on Bing or Google for their search results due to the significant costs involved in maintaining a global web index. However, there are smaller search engines like Mojeek, Stract, and Kagi that show promise but are still considered secondary options. The importance of exploring various search engines and resources beyond the dominant players is emphasized to find alternative information effectively.
