Is it just me or is web search getting dumber? I just tried to search for a report using DuckDuckGo, with the author's name and the full title as keywords. Instead of the text of the report, ideally from the original publisher, I got a bunch of vaguely related tech press articles. DDG are basically a front-end for Bing now, so I guess they're to blame. But I tried Monocles.de (Searx instance) and the results were only marginally better.

Thanks for the reminder. @jackyan has pointed this out to me a couple of times. I have set it as the default in Fennec.
