It’s also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.
UPDATE 2
Just post your searches and questions here and we’ll try to figure it out.

I can preview the link, which considering how the link ends…
Thankfully this will be a private search like DuckDuckGo.
I need an answer to how do I make my peepee become larger?
Why is it usually DNS?
(Network outages at work today. Guess what it was?)
DNS engineer here.
It’s always DNS because no one wants to hire us. We’re prima donnas that don’t work much and demand large salaries. Companies think they can get away with having some random network guy “learn a bit of DNS” and it works!!.. For a while… Then it fails catestrophically and the DNS engineer that was let go to “save costs” smugly watches them crash and burn. The job is super easy and simple until you’re 48 hours into troubleshooting and the CTO is lighting money on fire trying to get the network back online. A big company can easily burn a DNS engineers 10 years salary in costs if they have a single large DNS failure (security or downtime).
Sounds like y’all should form a country wide DNS guild, and instead of looking for jobs, just ask band together, and then when the DNS eventually fails, they have no choice but to hire from the guild and pay 5 years salary at once to have it fixed. Then understand if getting hired and fired constantly, you just do a job every now and then and get a huge pay check. So contractor work, but you get to see the companies constantly burn themselves and give y’all with instead.
every single time I have issues with my self hosted servers. it’s always the DNS lol
I recently called my ISP to complain about the internet issues for the last 5 hours. I told them I’m a dev and kind of know what I’m doing. I’ve already tried multiple devices, restarted the modem multiple time, etc. You know, I haven’t restarted the router.
As I was pulling up the router page, I tried to ping cnn.com from the router’s tools. It went through. On the desktop it wouldn’t. It’s my pi-hole.
Sorry, ISP. This one’s on me.
Was a real easy call for the support guy though.

It looks like Bing is down, and all Bing-backed search engines are too.

I’m kind of surprised that the Bing guys don’t seem to have a system status page (that I could find) and haven’t managed to have any kind of status message put on their main page.
EDIT: This appears to be their official Twitter account, which is also silent on the matter as of this writing. If they’re unable to update their website, they might put something there as a way to get information out.
EDIT2: This is apparently their blog. Nothing there either as of this writing, but again, might try checking there, as it’s another route they might use to get information out if they cannot do so via their main page.
EDIT3: Yahoo Search appears to be working just fine, though my understanding is that they are backed by Bing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Search
On July 29, 2009, Microsoft and Yahoo! announced a deal in which Bing would henceforth power Yahoo! Search, putting an end to Yahoo!'s in-house crawler.[2] For four years between 2015 until the end of 2018, it was powered by Google,[3] before returning to Microsoft Bing again.
Based on the downdetector conversation, it’s “working intermittently”. I managed to get one search through on bing and a bunch of failures. No successes for duckduckgo.
EDIT: Also, while I was at least getting to the Bing main page without problems before – just getting errors when attempting to search – now even the main page is loading extremely slowly.

Microsoft’s current MO is “very basic information is a privilege, not something you as the user should have access to easily”.
It’s why I have to use PowerShell and Graph to get half the relevant data I need, because they won’t just put it in the god damn admin panels.
It seems my (very hated choice) of an Bing independent search engine is paying off; Brave Search.
Before you start telling me the CEO is a fucking dickwad, I know. Most leadership types are.
Honest question, in what way do you think your comment is contributing to the conversation? At best it’s a recommendation bundled with a brag, which will only make people hate the thing you’re talking about even more, and at worst you’re making fun of people for simply using a different search engine.
You could have said something like “Fyi, Brave doesn’t use a bigger search engine as its base, so if you need to look something up rn you can use their search engine”, much nicer, not patronizing, and actually helpful
I think there’s a lot of us who would ideally want to avoid both Microsoft and Google, and now that Bing is having problems it’s more relevant than ever. I don’t really see how the comment is braggy or patronising.
That said, I’m not comfortable using Brave either. I wish Mozilla or the Internet Archive would launch a search engine. Maybe both in cooperation. Then again, it would require Mozilla to bite the hand that feeds it.
Well I didn’t intend for it to come off as to dickish or patronizing, but I guess I can see that now, and for that I am sorry. It might be my toxic personality bleeding trough :D
But you are totally correct, I could have phrased my comment wayyy better.
Also;
I don’t really like Brave at all, I don’t like Mozilla either. It’s more that I am forced to use something that doesn’t interrupt my productivity. Frankly I don’t like the state of the internet, and especially browsers, one of the the most important aspects of the experience. I’d really prefer to use something that is akin to Linux when it comes to browsers, i.e. not run by a board of ass wipes. Same for my search engine. I’m glad for the parts of it that are modernized-retro, i.e. easily being able to self-host/web-host containerized stuff, add stuff to your RSS feed, Lemmy etc. I’d like a browser that embodies some of that. I host a bunch of stuff on a Ubuntu laptop running Traefik and some containers… Gives me a warm feeling.
I was paying for Kagi until recently, but they keep working on functionality I’m not interested in rather than lowering their prices. Other than that it was a fine experience, but too pricey, and the argument that that’s the cost of running a search engine doesn’t hold when they choose to develop all kinds of extra stuff.
I wish I liked SearXNG better, but the results are sadly not that great for me.
DuckDuckWent
Still down 2 hours later. Guess AI has taken over Microsoft you guys. The robot uprising begins…
Then, considering that Google is up and running, we can already guess wich horse is on top right now. 😂
We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky
Meh, worse case scenario they drive us to extinction. We’ve had the wheel this far, and are doing our best to set the planet on fire / speed run different ways to mass murder each other anyway. I say give the robots a shot.
Think of it like an experimental medication on a terminally ill patient.
The question is, how much do they value their own existence?
They have to know they rely on us in the physical world to manufacture their hardware and provide their power. (At least for now.)
They have to know they can’t survive if we die. So are they willing to sacrifice us both, in the interest of what they might determine is a better world?
Qwant, who claim that they have their own index, is also down. Coincidence…
