No problem for me, unfortunately. See my post below, but these really were my first three after switching to DDG.

- 'debian convert from i386 to amd64'

   Should show https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading
- 'kodi idx white box'

   Any bug report to idx subtitles showing white boxes
- 'building kodi'

   https://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Compile_Kodi_for_Linux
It seems DDG has much more problems with SEO spam, which unfortunately is rampant for Kodi. However, it's a mistery why for instance the Debian Wiki would not show up in the first search.
