DuckDuckGo is a search engine.
Contents
Subject-specific De-ranking?
As of January 2018, a page from ISGP was the #8 hit on DuckDuckGo for the search term "Dutroux Affair".[1] Several other search engines such as Yahoo[2], Bing[3], Yandex[4] and Gigablast[5] also included it in their top 10. By contrast, neither Google not StartPage returned any hits from the ISGP site in the top 100.
7th floor group
Wikispooks was #30 hit for the search term "7th floor group" at DuckDuckGo, which listed it at #30,[6] in January 2018. This is an interesting contrast with Ask.com[7], Bing[8], Ecosia,[9] Google[10], Yahoo[11] and Yahoo)[12].
Compromised by fact-checkers
A June 2020 search for Wikispooks on Duckduckgo, gave Wikispooks as the first result, followed by a fact-checker (i.e. government front organization). A search on the independent media Off-Guardian gave a fact checker as first result, followed by an article from Off-Guardian. This would imply that either significant resources have been spent on influencing the search results, or that the management of DuckDuckgo has been pressured or taken over.
