Startpage did use to be iQuick, which was touted as non-tracking, privacy-respecting, etc when it came out. Similar appeal to DDG's. Still no hits on Startpage.
I can confirm your DDG hits. Bing gave me a bunch of hits, none of which looked as if they would have the exact quote. Google itself hit this thread and nothing else.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a search engine that didn't include hits from places that want something from you?
