I just tried it out. Wanted to find "phpng" that was released just now. Search returns results for "phong" and no way to force it to use the term phpng. Otherwise, it looks good and works as well as the other "older" one. Good job.

Ahh, yes that is actually a fix we're presently working on and should make it in soon!
I don't know what you mean by 'released'. If we're talking about the same thing, it's a) a single mailing list thread and b) a wiki page, which google finds.
But as another check just revealed, DDG does not seem to index php.net very much, cf. https://next.duckduckgo.com/?q=string+inurl%3Aphp.net
It also does not find any php related content for my real name, whereas google does, a lot.
Edit: my bad, it seems to be site: and not inurl:

You can put quotes around phpng to force DDG to search that word. Though this should only be a temporary fix until the real problem is fixed.
If you use quotes around the search term, it does find 2 results:
