You are mistaken in assessing the situation, this has nothing to do with results, but with query composition. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lexisnexis+35000+news+sources You have trained Google to recognise Lexis as an alias for LexisNexis. DDG does not offer that, so one has to spell it out explicitly. You have to decide whether it's acceptable for you to change habits back to the common ground for Web searching. The value provided by magic intent recognition (as opposed to traditional searching for keywords) differs from person to person. On the whole, it's likely for the better and that's why that feature was implemented at Google, but I have also read countless complaints about it on HN because situationally it pollutes results and can't be turned off. |

I disagree completely. Google knows Lexis is an alias for LexisNexis, but I did not train it from an individual level filter bubble perspective.
Look at the below results. They are sourced from Google but proxied so that Google doesn't get any information on the end user. The firsts result should be one that provides the relevant article I was initially looking for. [0]

Just one final point. Half the results on the DDG page for initial "Lexis" search I ran are for the car company "Lexus". So let's not pretend that DDG is respecting user search queries.
