Duckduckgo.com's results seem to favor larger "official" sites. Maybe I'm biased: my webpage on bipolar psychopharmacology has been at the top of the results list on a Google search for "bipolar psychopharmacology" for a number of years now, apparently because it is linked to by many pages, but it doesn't appear on duckduckgo's results until you go way deep.
