I just did this, the results don't seem very different.

Really?

Google gives me bland stuff like "..is how old" and "..is he dead."

Bing gives me "..is so evil" and "..is a convicted felon."

Duckduckgo "wins" with "..is the antichrist" and "..is satan."

DDG doesn't even show me any autocomplete options when I add "is"

Which is even stranger, shouldn't we all see the exact same thing with DDG?

Sure you got javascript enabled? Just asking.
Yep - note how I imply it does show autocomplete suggestions if I just type "George Soros" ;)

What are your (relevant) DDG settings? Country is set to "All Regions" and Safe Search is on for me, but changing either doesn't change anything for me.

"All Regions"

"Browser Preferred Language" (English-US in my case)

Safe Search "On"

Instant Answers "On"

Auto Suggest "On"

That is really weird, why don't we get the same results?
Interestingly, for me Google gave me "is dead", DDG and Bing gave me... nothing. The suggestions didn't even pop up. THis is in Germany, but for the .com domains.
