Is google is the king of search, how do other competitors (bing/yahoo) stay in business and why do they want to try to fight google? Why don't they just focus their efforts on something else?
Is anyone making significant money out of search (apart from Google)? Does DDG?
As for why they would want to be in search. For Bing it seems highly misguided. DDG probably would like to be even 1% as big as Google, so they could sell adverts and make $billions.
Google just doesn't appeal much to the Chinese sensibilities, and especially earlier had very bad Chinese search results.
I appreciated your effort to add to the conversation, but "They barely do make money." followed by "Is anyone making significant money out of search" doesn't add much to the discussion.
