Wondering if someone could create a less tricky alternative to regex.
Cloudflare’s infamous outage was also one regex character off.
Regexng could result a longer string, but more human readable than plain old regex.
Basically regexng could be regex with more syntactic sugar.
There is a projekt out there that offers a more human-readable language that compiles to plain regex.

This is the only alternative I’ve ever seen. Good luck finding a working implementation.
I’d love to know the “why” behind this bug. Assuming it’s not actually a feature!
According to commenters on HN it was a faulty regex.
Looks more like they didn’t sanitize the input properly, causing the top result Notepad++ be interpreted as a regex.
Good find. Relevant bit:
Hi all (CEO & Founder, DuckDuckGo here). Looks like something may have broken in a release that went out today -- it is triggering a JS error. We're looking into it now and should have it resolved soon.
Most results are for notepad++ for me, but i still get notepad results lower on the first page.

Might as well just go straight to Bing
That's super useful.
Edit: it was a blank results page when I posted this comment
That's weird. So does notepad++
Just did it. literally the first result was for notepad ++
That's just not true mate.
