 Disconnect does not have access to Google search results anymore. At least
 not at the moment. The fallback is Bing which gives a horrible search
 experience to our users. We should make sure that this does not happen in
 Tor Browser 6.0.

 Some options are:

 1) Go back to Startpage (at least temporarily) for Google results
 2) Switch to DuckDuckGo directly
 3) Use Disconnect but set DuckDuckGo as the engine delivering the search
 results.
