Yet another slight from Duckduckgo, adding to the many they have done recently. I'm looking for a new search engine to be my daily driver. Any suggestions? Startpage? Brave?

I'm still getting results for the few of these I tried. People on other sites are also reporting that it's working for them.

iirc this has happened before and it was just a mistake in how they implemented bing results. I hope that's the case here again.

If you search site:youtube-dl.org, for example, it returns no results. But if you search just youtube-dl, it comes right up. Probably a bug and they never meant to deindex it.
