EDIT 2: Seems that DuckDuckGo has returned. https://twitter.com/duckduckgo/status/897501100412030976

DuckDuckGo [https://duckduckgo.com]:

"No results. Try:" + Search suggestions + Instant answers

Bing [https://www.bing.com/]:

"It's not you, it's us.

Bing isn't available right now, but everything should be back to normal very soon."

EDIT: DuckDuckGo statement: https://twitter.com/duckduckgo/status/897497301106663425

I have been using DDG off and on all morning, as recently as 2 minutes ago. It was fine all morning but it was very, very slow. Apparently its heavy and steadily increasing use is causing issues for the site.

Still seeing lots of "No results" screens here for queries that definitely should have results, though every so often it works OK.

It must be something with a US data center then, as every search returns no results fairly quickly.

It was every search engine except google. Hmm.
