I'm confused. When I run your DDG query, the first result is the github page, and the second result is the docs. So same top two as Google, but flipped. I find that acceptable. Maybe one of us is in some A/B bucket?

Here is what i get clicking on your second query. https://i.imgur.com/2ZfvuDh.png

I expanded the boxes in the top right, but it seems clear it gives the "correct" results for me.

I wonder why the results are so different.

Very interesting. I see almost what bgaluszka sees, but the first two results flipped. I know they basically blend a couple search engine's results together, so they must experiment with different combinations.
