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?

They barely do make money. Bing is heavily subsidised both financially by Microsoft and by what remains of Microsoft's desktop monopoly. Yahoo is a lot more than a search company, and hardly in the best of health.

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.

Yahoo doesn't "barely" make money. $1.3bn to be exact.[0] You're right, Bing is subsidized, but it's not like their revenues are $0.

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.

That's 1/50th of what Google makes, from a broader range of products. Seems to back up my point.

Yandex and Baidu.

Fair point, although I'm doubtful Baidu could survive if it had to actually compete with Google (which is banned or filtered in most of China).

Actually Google failed to gain any market share in China, and "filtered" didn't play any role in that. If anything Baidu is equally filtered and monitored.

Google just doesn't appeal much to the Chinese sensibilities, and especially earlier had very bad Chinese search results.
