i prefer not to use Google. It was previously possible to ask Siri to search an alternative…. Eg. “hey siri, search DuckDuckGo for the magna carta”. Siri now ignores this and provides Google results. Siri removes the word DuckDuckGo from the search as if intentionally ignoring it. Was Apple paid to remove this by google?

Thanks for the suggestion but Siri is still offering Google results. It’s disappointing that Apple appear to have quietly withdrawn this functionality.
Thanks but…
When use “hey siri, search DuckDuckGo for the magna carta”, the top 3 results are the same as the top 3 returned by clicking “show google results”.
If I search ddg using the safari app, results are different (albeit some overlap).
I’m pretty sure Siri is offering Google results.
Try installing the DDG browser from the App Store and then make that your default browser. It means that every time you access the internet it will open that browser. So (I would have thought) would any Siri search.
I did not find any issue with Siri. Please see the pic below
Have you made DuckDuckGo your default browser?
I use safari browser with DDG as default (only) search provider.
Siri ignores request to search DuckDuckGo
