[kwlug-disc] Now in the market for a new search engine...

[Remi Gauvin]

It's interesting,, if you search for youtube-dl on Bing now, the
homepage is missing.  But if you search on ddg, the home page is the top
result.  I expect ddg has inserted that into their results while they
try to come up with a statement on this kerfufle... it probably took
them by surprise as well.
