Looks like they just rewrote the markdown file and the exclusion looks is still there in the additions? Maybe it was reworded, or an attempt to reword it, because of this issue: https://github.com/duckduckgo/duckduckgo-help-pages/issues/1...
Things like this seem so arbitrarily hostile to intelligent people who just want to find what they're looking for in an efficient way. Why does this keep happening? Who benefits from these developments?
I don't attribute any malice to this kind of thing. I just expect that if a project or product is trying to be more easy and delightful to more users, using telemetry and the latest UX design research etc, then it's going to stop being a tool for smart technical people, even if that's how it became known in the first place. It wants to be a solution, a product, not a tool.
I've realized that I like tools, particularly those that require skill to use. The mass market just always goes the other way. You'll have to find another niche project/product. The great benefit of locally-run open-source software is that you can keep using the tool even if the project goes a different way, and open-source projects can be forked by even smaller interested groups.

How few people were using duckduckgo with these filters for it not to be noticed until now?
Stranger still that the author noticed the change to the docs but not that it didn't work previously
It seems duckduckgo removed all the operators like -, +, and, intitle, inurl and others

It looks like it never worked and the docs were wrong or out of date. How few people were using duckduckgo with these filters for it not to be noticed until now? Stranger still that the author noticed the change to the docs but not that it didn't work previously

dogs -crazy -cute -sounds site:youtube.com This seems to be working fine. Even though the search filter doesn't include them in the filters list, the results are getting filtered.
dogs -babies -crazy -cute -sounds site:youtube.com
Then I no longer get that as the top result but the fifth result mentions babies.
Is there a decent search engine which still has filtering like this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

i mean, the search works but the first result I get is "Cute Dogs and Adorable Babies", so the something is weird. If change the search to dogs -babies -crazy -cute -sounds site:youtube.com Then I no longer get that as the top result but the fifth result mentions babies.
