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 search engine built into qbittorrent is good as well.

I probably wouldn’t use it as a main search engine because I don’t know how trustworthy it is, but whenever I can’t find some obscure piece of media or something I’ve had amazing results from Yandex
