Thanks all for the informative replies, it's making more sense.

I wanted to add a little bit more information to this also, just in case anyone was wanting more:

For the last year, mostly, I've been avoiding google searches. The question I asked about this place not showing up is after months on months of me using various computers mostly all not having any kind of saved local history (indeed there are generally deletions of such every 2-4 days i'd figure on average, if one is recorded at all).

Additionally, this is across no less than three different computers I use mostly every day, and no less than five overall, across ipv4 and ipv6 connections as well as two or three different vpns. Two of the computers usually get an OS flashed about every week or so to some different or the same linux distro. So basically I can only assume that the servers are picking up "random linux user on high resolution screen using mostly firefox located more often than not in the USA and sometimes Germany/Netherlands."

And still, every time I try to find a subject on this board by typing the subject i'm looking for coupled with the word bitcointalk both Bing and DuckDuckGo generally fail to acknowledge that the site even exists at all.

Only google has reliably served this site along with my specified search term on this site.

Actually, it's been so lately that the only searches I do through google is when I'm looking for something on this site.

Add: also, yes i at least can confirm I was mistaken before in that bing at least produces a link to bitcointalk.org, and that's it.
