It seems DDG has recently started ignoring entire keywords in a 3 or 4 word search phrase without informing the user a keyword has been excluded.

Something like "2015 camry leaking exhaust" could return nothing but "2015 camry exhaust" results until "leaking" is put in quotes (not a working example). Google search ignoring keywords was the straw that broke the camel's back - is DDG following suit?

Same with Google Images. If you keep hitting more and more results, it'll just recycle the top ones.

How can it be anything but intentional to give you the same image over and over again in an image search? That's not something you could possibly miss when checking for the quality of results.

another search means another opportunity to serve you more ads for different keywords

I've noticed plenty of websites now do this.

Maybe they used a char to store the array index and you hit an integer overflow?
