Not since they got their own crawler which manages to be worse than Google's one.
At least I assume that's what happened. Their results are noticeably worse than they used to be and noticeably worse than a Google search, although that might be because I'm signed in
I often search for things with plenty of results on any other search engine and get one or (more commonly) zero results from Startpage. I remember they used to be a proxy for Google. I'm no longer convinced they are.
