Maybe I just need to learn the proper way to search with DDG but so far it's been next to useless in finding me relevant info. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] burrito@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) DDG also seems to exclude some websites from search even if you specifically give terms that should give results for a site. Try searching for any model from Bad Dragon's website like "bad dragon nova" or another sex toy maker "mr hankeys beefcake" and the first result should be for the item on the maker's website. I can't ever get DDG to give results and safe search is already off. It has been like this for years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 1 year ago Duckduckgo uses Bing which has deindexed a couple of sites.
