My chief complaint about DDG is excluding a term from a query rarely works. The "-" tag is not reliable.
Yeah, I looked it up the other day and apparently it only gives less results with words flagged with "-". It's stupid because a few years ago there was syntax to exclude a term completely, so it's definitely possible to do. I don't understand why they just won't.
Last time I checked the documentation (more than a year ago) the '-' flag was supposed to work, but in practice the results can be unpredictable. Google honours the flag, but DDG is a bit of a mixed bag.
