Wikipedia in Results? (lemmy.world)

So, what's happened to Wikipedia pages in search results? Maybe this is just happening to me but I can never find them.

For example, I searched for a 20 year old movie I was watching so I could read about the movie. Nothing comes up except entertainment blogs, which I never read. I specifically put Wikipedia in the search and I get articles in different languages.

The only way to get to the page I'm looking for is to search for an actor and hit the link to their wiki page in the blurb Google puts at the top.

Is anyone else having similar issues getting results that you're actually looking for?

I know what community we're in so forgive me, but just did a DDG search for "Lawrence of Arabia movie" and the results in order were: Wikipedia, IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes.

Just sayin ๐Ÿฆ†
