Why is the FreeBSD Project home page the top result when using DuckDuckGo to seek NetBSD in the freebsd.org domain?

<https://duckduckgo.com/?ia=web&t=h_&q=NetBSD+site%3Afreebsd.org>

There's no mention of NetBSD at the home page, or about FreeBSD:

<https://www.freebsd.org/>, <https://www.freebsd.org/about/>

Google Search results are less confused than DuckDuckGo:

<https://www.google.com/search?q=NetBSD+site%3Afreebsd.org&udm=14>

#DuckDuckGo #Google #FreeBSD #NetBSD

@grahamperrin

I don't understand your question.
You limit the results to come from freebsd.org and wonder that they come from freebsd.org. Do I get this right?

@dexternemrod seeking the word "NetBSD" should not prioritise a page that does not mention NetBSD.

You asked DDG to only search freebsd.org. So how should it find/present other sites?

@dexternemrod I don't want it to present other sites.

I want DuckDuckGo to not make an irrelevant page the top result.

@grahamperrin

Ah, you want to see freebsd.org/pagewithNetBSDmentioned

Instead of freebsd.org/pagewithoutFreeBSSmentioned at a top result?

@dexternemrod exactly.
