Google is apparently now better at searching programming-related questions

Most browsers have a private browsing mode, which separates 
cache/cookies/etc. from your regular browsing. Doing this will 
usually allow you to temporarily reset your filter bubble.

You might be hitting a different Google server. It's a common 
misconception that all search queries go through the same 
algorithm and database all the time; I remember reading somewhere 
that Google might have up to hundreds of variations of search 
algorithms available at any single point in time.

The results I get on all browsers (incl. my cell phone in a 
private session on 3G):

1. "Libraries and Frameworks" on our wiki
2. awesome-d
3. D-Lib Magazine (unrelated to D).

I think Google has a local data center here in Moldova, so it's 
likely that all my search queries go there.

I do get a "Did you mean" suggestion for "ad libs", is that what 
you meant?
