Does anyone have a recommendation for another search engine that does decently well in terms of privacy and also supports chinese results?
Compare with Bing (where DDG gets its search results from) https://www.bing.com/search?q=vk
Well that's weird. Searching vkontakte gives a lot of results (in the realm of what you would expect). Maybe it's a command or something else is happening with that query?
What were you expecting?
It is a popular site. Atleast vk.com?
As others are pointing out, this is actually a popular site not just for russian content. Owing to the jurisdiction, it's actually a popular place for hosting various ripped/pirated PDFs.
As an example, I was playing around with Phaser and found that DDG just does not surface the entire Phaser documentation or forums correctly, and had to switch my default browser search for when I was putting time there.
I want to want to support DDG, but the lack of quality around searches makes it difficult.

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=VK&kl=ru-ru&ia=web Searching by putting region=Russia gives more results
These results are not in the language I have my browser set to, so maybe it is filtering based on language.
So you get russian results.

The images returned by the search look quite dodgy.
A lot of pirated content exists there. Mainly songs.
