I'm primarily a DDG user, and I get annoyed that it often drops terms from my query as well. However, if you prefix the term with a +, such as `+freebsd +meltdown`, it will reliably keep that term in my query and show me what I want. So my queries often get overwritten, but at least I can reliably override it.
