Yes, DDG does it too. The other significant difference I've noticed, in my admittedly short-but-intense periods of DDG use, is that unlike Google, it won't block you with a CAPTCHA for "searching too hard"; but sometimes it just runs out of results.

Looking through too many search pages, or using queries containing quotes and other "advanced" things like site: or intext: or intitle: operators tends to get you blocked by Google pretty quickly, which is extremely infuriating --- and the point at which I switch to DDG or something else for a while.

They started doing that recently :-/ I guess the appeal to ape leader is strong, even if leader lost its ways. But I am running out of options for search so have to live with it...
