Why doesn't DDG return consistent results?
If I search for something, I'll get a list of results, potentially even a featured wikipedia entry or whatnot on the right. If I click on one of the top ranked links and realize it's not what I want, the results page is completely different when I return to it via the back button. e.g. just now I wanted to go back and click on that featured wikipedia link but it's gone now.
FWIW this is the sort of behavior that means I just append '!g' to most queries.
