DDG and Ecosia both use Bing as a provider for some of their results.
Something is currently broken on the side of Bing, and none of the search engines that use it as a source is able to get any results.

Bing seems to be working fine on my end though. Maybe only the api?

According to this, it started as a full outage, but by now Bing itself is mostly fixed only leaving the the API down. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/23/24163094/microsoft-bing-search-outage-copilot-duckduckgo-chatgpt

There is a major outage of multiple Microsoft services.

They work for me. Might be something on your end.

Yeah, my bad. I checked afterwards and realized I commented too fast. Should have investigated further.
