I've noticed that using more advanced syntax helps to alleviate the issue, in both DDG and Google. Specially apostrophes (to force exact terms) and the minus (to remove results containing a certain word or expression).
I noticed recently that Google has been ignoring my commands sporadically on Mobile. They still work if I switch to desktop mode tho
Same with ddg, it's been an issue for some time
Commands? Those are wishes! //Google
