Article is in Italian.

Famous privacy blog Le Alternative (!lealternative@lemmy.ml here on Lemmy) was de-indexed from Bing and from all Bing-dependent search engines, including DuckDuckGo. At the moment it is impossible to search for their useful articles and the reason for this de-indexing is unknown. The owner of the blog is still trying to find out the reason for this removal.

      It even supports DDG’s ones!

      not really, they just have a few that look similar to DDG’s. for example, the link above shows !wp as a Wikipedia bang, and while it works, DDG’s !w doesn’t.

        My source was this paragraph, I don’t know if they are all from DDG, but I tried and some are the same:

        !! external bangs

        SearXNG supports the external bangs from ddg. To directly jump to a external search page use the !! prefix. To give an example:

        search wikipedia by a custom language

          !!wfr Wau Holland

        Please note, your search will be performed directly in the external search engine, SearXNG cannot protect your privacy on this.
