And interestingly, perlmonks.org doesn't appear to be indexed by DDG (only the .com domain seems to indexed).

Update: Never mind, this seems to depend on what browser I'm using.

    The site search results I'm getting with DDG are very off

    Best was with brave browser and site:www.perlmonks.com

    Which is counterintuitive regarding the robots.txt, unless they were different on the servers.

    I second your patch to switch to Google as anonymous fallback.

    FWIW: I also tested brave search (not browser) with good results, but they are probably ignoring robots.txt
