Try it with this search:
an entire block of smash car windows
I’ll have to test Searx, Grasp, & Kagi. Right now I start with DDG and bang out to Google (append !g to my DDG search) at least half the time.
So note to DDG devs: those Google bang searches had results that left me 
!
I get the same issue all the time lately. Search, click link, go back - clicked link gone, different results shown.
I get this but never clicked link gone. Rearranged or added results.
I always use mousewheeldown click nowadays, it opens the link in a new tab.
Also mwd on the tabs themselves close the tab (without needing to hit the tiny cross).
Changed the way I browse
That’s what I do on the desktop, but on mobile there’s no quick way to open a new tab.
Would it help turning on the setting to have the links always open in a new tab?
It’s been a long time since I used ddg, but I believe they have the option in their settings page, most search engines do.
No issue here.
Thanks for testing. What did you try? Any of the same refreshing + intermixing completely clearing cache/cookies/history?
My environment: iPhone 14 Pro using Firefox Focus 120.0. Saw the same rearranging behavior in Orion on iOS as well.
Three users here (besides the hundred upvotes) noticed something similar: https://infosec.pub/comment/4407136
Same… it’s probably OP’s📱 phone
Is this to mean you believe DDG was presenting identical results with each refresh/new search, while my browser failed to properly display what was returned?
Or perhaps something else?
(I’m not an engineer, just doing my best heh - thanks)
I did see DDG doing different search but all within the three 1st searches. In the meantime the results on Yandex after refreshing were all the Same … Hope that helps you
I settled on SearXNG
I am going to give SearXNG a try myself. It looks promising. I hadn’t heard of it before today, but I am setting up a container for it now.
Are you hosting it yourself?
Did not get to doing that yet, here’s a tutorial if you want to.
I think setting up a docker container would be easier no?
If possible, self-host SearxNG using Docker/Podman to avoid all of these.
