The same has been happening recently, for a few weeks now.  It seems to
be some timing issue.  When it works, I only get answers from bing, with
the URLs from bing.  Only when I click on them do I get the real URL.  I
suppose this is how bing works, but I rarely see any responses from
other search engines.  If I go directly to duckduckgo, hundreds of
results.  Has anyone else seen this?  I was wating for the problem to go
away but it hasn't.  Since the first email from 2019, the problem got
fixed but it reappeared.
