This is probably related to Bing not showing results because, as far as I know, DuckDuckGo uses Bing as its underlying search engine. I’ve always chuckled at this from the Apple and Linux users railing against Microsoft but then they use DuckDuckGo.<p>Interestingly, Bing shows plenty of relevant search results for their web results, including images, but doesn’t show results for an image search.
Interestingly, when I follow that link I first get "Images blocked by safe search", but when I turn off safe search, I then get "no results".
I've been using DDG as the default search for <i>years</i> and this is the first time I've been disappointed in them. DDG: don't let disappointment gain momentum because it's hard to stop.
The regular DDG results for 'tank man' are baffling bad too; it amounts to little more than entries on Wikipedia that have 'tank' in them.
This must be a locality thing because if I follow the link, I get the original tank man images, and also images that complain about MS censoring the tank man images. This is with safe search: Moderate setting too.
Same with qwant <a href="https://www.qwant.com/?t=images&q=tank+man" rel="nofollow">https://www.qwant.com/?t=images&q=tank+man</a>
I've noticed this recently around several topics. Including, but not limited to, virus reporting. Particularly, related to Fauci's FOIA requested emails.<p>They didn't appear to be doing this even 3-4 months ago. Although, I'm not sure how it is related to "tank man".
For comparison: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%22tank+man%22&tbm=isch" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=%22tank+man%22&tbm=isch</a>
lots of image results that include "tank man", many of the photo, turn up for "tank ma", "tankman", etc. Shows clearly that it is not a lack of indexed content, but a search filter.
