DuckDuckGo: SEO Description broken mostly for stable class pages

[jcommander]

Well, I'm not sure if this Issue can be fixed with the Docs or if it resides on DuckDuckGo's Side but I thought it would make sense to track since there are some interesting observations:

I've noticed the SEO description being all messed up on DuckDuckGo for a while.
I have basically only seen it on the Class Reference pages... it doesn't seem to be completely consistent though

But I remember it not being like this, so I searched for 3.2 docs, and to my surprise, they're still fine

Google

DuckDuckGo (stable)

DuckDuckGo (3.2)

Maybe someone has an idea what is happening here.

Doesn't seem to be version specific

Thanks for reporting! After a brief Google (😉), this appears to be a Bing (and thus DDG) issue, unrelated to Godot specifically.

For example, here is someone encountering it on another website:
canonical/microk8s.io#628 (and yes, Godot's Docs do contain <meta charset="utf-8" />)

There are more, similar results around the web, like https://answers.netlify.com/t/bing-indexed-a-scrambled-version-wrong-encoding/54751.

For now, I'm going to close this, as I don't think there is anything we can do to fix this. Some of the results suggest it cleared up after a while (probably on re-indexing), so let's hope for that.
