I'd like a little better code and programming related search. For anything related to code-search I have to switch to Google at this point.

Would love some specific examples we can take a look at. We're working on many programming related instant answers, e.g. https://next.duckduckgo.com/?q=nginx+vs+apache & https://next.duckduckgo.com/?q=perl+split
In my experience, the problem with code searches is the extra work you have to go to to force a precise search. The above example of phpng, for example. I'm totally fine with being told I might find more results with a slightly different search, but it's infuriating to not at least be given the benefit of the doubt that I know what I actually want.
Unlike the GP, this bothers me about google as well, though.

I forget the name of the other one, but there's another one similar to this too.
