I'm finding the results are not helpful as they used to be and sometimes way past the topic I'm searching. This is very prevalent when I'm searching for pirate sites. I'm falling back to Searxng whenever this occurs.

Has anyone noticed it too? Has DDG upped their moderation?

The DuckDuckGo search engine gets it's results from the Bing search engine

Bing powers so much of the alternative (meta)sphere
