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>
@pauamma thanks. Results seem to be unpredictable.
I guess that popular clicks on an irrelevant page will cause the irrelevant page to remain at, or near, the top.
A few hours ago (originally pictured), the irrelevant FreeBSD Project page was uppermost.
A few minutes ago, the same result was uppermost, and the summary for 'Explaining BSD' had two matches for NetBSD in the first paragraph. In the first screenshot here:
"NetBSD uses a slightly different naming scheme and appends a single-letter suffix which indicates changes in the internal interfaces, for example NetBSD 1.4.3G."
Also a few minutes ago, the irrelevant page was in second place and 'Explaining BSD' had a quite different summary with only one match for NetBSD. In the second shot here:
"The description applies most closely to FreeBSD, which accounts for an estimated 80% of the BSD installations, but the differences from NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD are small."
