Your DuckDuckGo result makes perfect sense to me. Look again at your
filter settings. Google is obviously a lot more popular (and larger)
than DuckDuckGo. MSEide or MSEgui or MSElang has a very small community
in comparison to other topics. Take that into account and the fact that
you only asked for results of the past month will give you a very small
subset, or no results as in your case.

Change the filter setting to "any time" and magically you get a ton of
results. See attached screenshot.

And by "apps" I meant search in DDG for say 'stopwatch' or 'timer' and
you get the app. They have tons of such apps, and many are written by
the community too.

I didn't mean that the two completely different search engines give the
exact same results. There are lots of varying factors, including the
country. I simply meant I can normally find any information on DDG as I
would on Google. The search results are good enough for me to not only
rely on Google.

Well, that exact same set of steps on Github shows me what I'm looking
for.  Go to "www.github.com", type "msegui" in the search box and press
Enter.

My point exactly. The user experience is hit and miss, or all over the
place depending on the website. Sometimes things work, sometime they don't.
