As for the YouTube-DL part specifically, I'm pretty sure that's a side-effect of them being dependent upon Bing for the actual index: https://www.bing.com/search?q=site%3Ayoutube-dl.org

Also, _come on_; if someone gives up after one search term, which also includes advanced site-restricting syntax, there's no way they'd be able to operate youtube-dl anyway: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=youtube-dl&ia=web

Yeah idk why someone would type in the full URL of a site and not just the term they're looking for in a search engine...what a dumb way to test that on their part.

Youtube-dl's site is yt-dl.org, not youtube-dl.org. Not surprised the second one doesn't show up. Not sure why this blogspam is here on HN either.

yt-dl.org also seems not to appear: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Ayt-dl.org&t=h_&ia=web
