DuckDuckGo (or Bing?) really loves to feed me local results when I’m deliberately looking for results in another city/state/country. It’s driving me crazy.

Quand mon navigateur web se trompe mais ça me gêne pas trop.

I don’t know if this is a DuckDuckGo thing or an underlying Bing thing, but I’ve started noticing something weird happening when I search for things that don’t get a lot of results. When it happened again earlier this week, I finally grabbed a screenshot:

So, here I am searching for something related to the (relatively obscure, relatively progressive) religious denomination I belong to, and when DDG (or maybe Bing) couldn’t find anything related to the specific thing I was searching for, the first text result that it gave me was the best result it could find for a subset of my search matched with the town I live in: Lexington, Kentucky.

I missed most of this yesterday, but Masnick sums up my thoughts so much better than I could.
