I am using the latest Opera snapshot on Linux. If I rightclick on a link on a result page and copy the link address, I get the redirection link. The parameters are not "transfered" to another DDG page for me. Eg I manually crafted http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=hello+world http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=hello... which works great but if I now enter "hello epi0Bauqu" at the site and hit Enter I end up at http://duckduckgo.com/?q=hello+epi0Bauqu&v= http://duckduckgo.com/?q=hello+epi0Bauqu&v= I have cookies disabled, referrers too.

Gotcha, yes, I can confirm. It happens on mousedown so I guess that is triggering before the copy. Let me try and understand the params issue because I think that will fix it for you. So why aren't you creating a custom search in opera with those parameters that you one? Or are you saying that once you do a search and use the search box again, your parameters should be present in that second search? I think you're right that they are not and they should be. I can fix this, but I want to understand exactly what is going on first.

  You rock! Ah, sorry, I thought I explained it good enough, German here. I made a custom search with those parameters. It works fine. But if I then enter a new search term on the website's search box itself, not through my custom search, the parameters are dropped. That also happens if I reach a site where I have to choose the category and then get to a result page for that specific category, for example if I search for "test": http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=test http://duckduckgo.com/?kf=-1&kz=-1&kd=-1&q=test Then I have to choose a category, I click on http://duckduckgo.com/Test_(student_assessment) http://duckduckgo.com/Test_(student_assessment) and there the parameters are gone.
