The main page doesn't state why you should use the search engine over Google. If there are two or three compelling reasons, then they should be mentioned there.

  The current about page (http://duckduckgo.com/about.html http://duckduckgo.com/about.html) is dedicated to answering that question. Are you saying you think I should add a summary sentence on the homepage? I just haven't because I don't want to introduce clutter.

    No, it's fine.

    Maybe something really simple that might attract the curious? "A better search engine, learn why"

    Yes, I think a summary sentence is essential. Perhaps also provide sample query links to side-by-side comparisons with Google.

    I think it’s acceptable as-is, but I can’t help but notice that Ixquick (https://ixquick.com/ https://ixquick.com/) very directly markets what differentiates itself from other search engines (re: privacy). Summary sentence wouldn’t be bad, a la Google’s homepage.
