DuckDuckGo does have a crawler---DuckDuckBot---but it's only used for fetching favicons and scraping certain sites for infoboxes ("instant answers", the fancy widgets next to/above the classic link results). DuckDuckGo and other engines that use Bing's commercial API have contractual arrangements that typically include a clause that says something like "don't you dare change our results, we don't want to create a competitor to Bing that has better results than us)". Very few companies manage to negotiate an exception; DuckDuckGo is not one of those companies, to my knowledge.
