Ask HN: Has DuckDuckGo suddenly gotten worse?

I've been using DDG as my primary search engine for years, and I've very rarely needed to try a query on Google--it usually felt like putting a "!g" in my queries gave worse results, not better.

But over the last week or so, I feel like I've been having to switch over to Google a lot more often. DDG just isn't turning up good results. I've noticed that no matter what I did, for instance, last night I could not get it to include IMDB in the results (even if I put "imdb" explicitly in the query).

Any ideas what's going on?
