DuckDuckGo removed the ability to filter search re...
I just used DuckDuckGo with filter, and it worked as expected (i.e., the filter still correctly filters).
E.g., search query: t-shirts -site:amazon.com

Yes, according to the linked diff, that is the only remaining filter.

Got it. There are some one-offs that still function, but for the most part the filters are wiped. Bummer. I wonder if Google paid DDG to remove the filters, as a means of reclaiming search traffic.

As mentioned elsewhere, it's most likely related to a price hike for the Bing API that DDG uses. No need for conspiracy theories.
