    Agree with this completely.

    On the plus side, when I search for things and get forum thread results, DuckDuckGo gives me lots of really old results, eg from 2005-2010. Same search on Google gives me much newer threads >2015 say. DuckDuckGo also doesn't tell you the date of the thread but Google does.

    I use duckduckgo 90% of the time. And it has been great.

    Was using qwant.com for a bit which is the Iridium browser default but it is so slow from here in Australia. The site is based in France. And its flashy.

    I get the same issue with news stories too, but I find just dropping "2017" onto the end of the query usually solves that issue. Occasionally you'll still get an old article that was recently crawled and has "copyright 2017" or something in the footer, but most of the old results do get filtered out.

    Or you could just hit that drop-down below the search box where it says "Any Time" and change it to "Past Month"...
