Ask HN: Search terms not working in DuckDuckGo?

1 points by x14km2d 4 years ago | 2 comments

I am researching articles for an essay and came across something strange. Apparently the search terms[1] don't seem to work in the following order. Is it just me?

search: eu regulation advertsing in news article

On other search engines, results are showing up. Also other search terms work in DDG. Unfortunately I have no way to test this with a proxy or VPN right now.

I got results. This is the 1st:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/consumers/unfair-com...

Does it say no result or just doesn't show any?

I found out that this is due to UBlock Origin. No idea why this was blocked.
