Comment on Neocities deindexed from Bing

Before you say haha no one is using bing… Your beloved DuckDuckGo uses bing results and this means it’s censored there too. And it’s not only about the start page neocities.org (which can be found with DuckDuckGo via Wikipedia Snippet). None of the hosted sites are in the index.

Well is that true? I searched duckduckgo and kagi something and neocities and both gave results. Bing did not.

I chose a random neocities website and searched with both DDG and Google. The search was “irony machine neocities” without quotes. Google yielded a result which pointed to the correct URL irony-machine.neocities.org while DDG did not.

My first duckduckgo result was a scam result site for that domain to check if it was safe, lol.
Second result was the creators website page that linked back to neocities.
The duckduck AI result at the top however was a direct link to the neocities page. Interesting.
Kagi’s results were first result was the link.
I concede though, it is hit and miss with Duckduckgo, even doing site:neocities.org

Interesting, if i do site:neocities.org with a random search term e.g.
site:neocities.org animein DDG I get zero results. In google, this yields thousands of neocities subdomains. Do you get any relevant results in DDG this way?
