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?

Indeed, I rarely add !g bang these days, almost never. But I do hate the censorship on DDG, you can rarely find relevant results if you search for anything Russian, or torrents or similar.

russian torrents

As a non-Russian I use Yandex for torrents because there's nothing better among general use search engines. Also try btdigg if you haven't.

Interesting. If you don't mind sharing, what's with the Russian search stuff? Is there anything good that's Russian Westerners might be missing out on?
