Torrents, modded apk's,...

Check out my results for some chinese download service called "Content Plaza" for example:

Google:

Yandex:

Like, 2? On the 'entire' internet? 2? Right...

Was Yandex respecting your query there?

Added quotation marks for “terabox” as well, and it was fascinating across providers:

Yandex agreed with your Google search…

…but not mine:

DDG coming in with one result:

Startpage, just one result?!

…nope, not from the “mobile site”:

Bing didn’t care about those silly quotation marks, here are a thousand results:

Yet if I enter something like 'resolv' in Google I need to add '-resolve' to not get hundreds of unrelated results... Same goes for any not-too-popular software that is named a slight misspelling of their purpose... I even find it ridiculous how often first results litterally say underneath they did not contain your query...

But with terabox and "content plaza" it gives 2 results?

Startpage I have no idea, but I'm guessing they, like many, use the Google API for webcrawler results... 1 result? Those are pretty common words,...
