Markus Feilner<p>Regarding <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/konterfai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>konterfai</span></a>: </p><p>After a quick test, there is only 1 out of 22 tested search engines that provide the right and desired result when searching for konterfai: <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/duckduckgo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>duckduckgo</span></a>. All the others correct you and you have to go to a second page, and many dont even offer that option, showing "konterfei" results instead.
