Hi Cédric, Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I see your point about "julia images" not showing the expected results in this case. I don't exactly know why but, somehow the query julia lang images <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=julia+lang+images&ia=about> shows the package at least. Ill mention it on the DDH thread. Also, just "julia" is in fact a trigger word and works properly for searches like julia calculus <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=julia+calculus&ia=about> & julia calendar <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=julia+calendar&ia=about>.
