For example, it's frustrating if I'm looking to buy a product locally and half the page is Amazon results.You can do that on ddg. See this link: http://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/syntaxIf I add -amazon to the query on ddg I don't get any Amazon results. Is this not the case for you?It is not. It works fine for google, but not for DDG.That is weird. I wonder why we are seeing so different behavior from ddg.
