Of course, all the queries in the world will be anectotal compared to your experience, but still : from my phone, a couple second ago, ddg censors the query so much that typing "the great" auto completes to "reset". And follows to giving pretty expected results.

I suppose I could come up with a few dozens scenario that would explain no results in your case (as a software engineer, I have heard a rumor that sometimes those " server" thingys have what they call "glitches".)

But I of course completely understand that the hypothesis of DDG specifically censoring the query for you looks more plausible.

You're probably a very important person that needed to be hidden the fact that the WMF had a conference about restarting the economy after the covid - which obviously means that the prince Charles of UK is behind a global conspiracy to manufacture viruses from scratch in order to overthrow capitalism. (I'm just kidding, I know that's not what you believe.)

Sincerely, i hope you have the best possible holiday season, and take care of yourselves.
