> Bing, and thus DDG, has switched to prioritizing local results

From what I can tell this is an issue with the Bing API that DDG uses that the DDG folks have been unable to resolve. I've tried many identical queries between DDG and Bing and while Bing does occasionally return incorrect local results, the completely irrelevant local results that appear on almost every DDG search do not seem to happen with Bing itself.

From what I understand, DDG is aware of the issue. I don't know why it isn't more of a priority.
