Are you talking about duckduckgo? I tried `office -microsoft` just now and got the expected results: tv series, tv series podcast, government sites, bunch of businesses named Office. Nothing about Microsoft Office.

Huh, it's showing Microsoft stuff for me:

Interesting. I clicked your second link and I still got the results respecting the negative operator I mentioned in my post above.

Edit: To confirm, `office` alone returns a page full of Microsoft results.

If anyone from DuckDuckGo is lurking by any chance, I'd love to hear what makes it different.

I have these same results. Maybe there's an active A/B test where one bucket has a working search engine.

Yeah. For a site that claims to help people escape the filter bubble this seems like evidence that they don't. Maybe it's your location, or your typical searches that are giving you better results, but duckduckgo fails that test for me every time.
