Famous privacy blog Le Alternative (!lealternative@lemmy.ml here on Lemmy) was de-indexed from Bing and from all Bing-dependent search engines, including DuckDuckGo. At the moment it is impossible to search for their useful articles and the reason for this de-indexing is unknown. The owner of the blog is still trying to find out the reason for this removal.

    Definitely is… The only thing that keeps me going back to DDG is bangs, would love to see this implemented in Searx instances 🙄

          not really, they just have a few that look similar to DDG’s. for example, the link above shows !wp as a Wikipedia bang, and while it works, DDG’s !w doesn’t.

            My source was this paragraph, I don’t know if they are all from DDG, but I tried and some are the same:

            !! external bangs

            SearXNG supports the external bangs from ddg. To directly jump to a external search page use the !! prefix. To give an example:

            search wikipedia by a custom language

              !!wfr Wau Holland

            Please note, your search will be performed directly in the external search engine, SearXNG cannot protect your privacy on this.
