It's a trap!
- jerrre 8y agohttps://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck&ia=web works fine for me ;)
- projectramo 8y agoYou had to already know about it though. That is a foul. Or, more accurately, a water-foul.
- kevindqc 8y agoIt's the second result on Google, too: https://www.google.com/search?q=duck https://www.google.com/search?q=duck Using an incognito window
- stetrain 8y ago7th for me (not counting the callout stories/maps/videos sections that split up the results)
- awestroke 8y agoPersonalized results
- kevindqc 8y agoHow? I'm at work (so tracking me personally by IP is probably hard since there's hundreds of different people using the same IP) and using an incognito window. Using a different browser (that I used once or twice), incognito again, gives me the same result.

- projectramo 8y agoThis sends a clear message: Bing should adopt a duck theme and try to get duck searches directed towards itself.
- mjlee 8y agoIt's not even on the first page for me (logged in, in the UK.)
- aequitas 8y ago5th for me with this as information: DuckDuckGo — Privacy, simplified. https://duckduckgo.com/ The Internet privacy company that empowers you to seamlessly take control of your personal information online, without any tradeoffs. Other Settings · DuckDuckGo Search Box · About DuckDuckGo · Press Kit Although the word search is mentioned in the info I would not make this out as a alternative search engine at first glance.
- kevindqc 8y agoWell that's on DuckDuckGo. They could make it more obvious if they wanted. Interestingly, when searching duck, DuckDuckGo went from 2nd to 1st.
- reaperducer 8y agoFirst result for me. Since Google results almost always vary by geographic location, according to the bottom of the page, Google thinks I'm in "Bernalillo County, New Mexico." I have no idea where that is. I haven't been to New Mexico in close to 20 years. I'm currently almost 1,000 miles away from New Mexico. Good jorb, Google.
- J_cst 8y agoNineth for me, Italy, not logged in
- chrisswanda 8y agoYou're making me feel down, Ma' llard. My wife and I used to breed ducks and have a duck farm. We were quack addicts, and quack dealers. I could go on and on.
- duckit 8y agoPlease do.
- thedaemon 8y agoPlease do.
- MentallyRetired 8y agoThat's the stretchiest pun I've seen in years. Nice job.
- praptak 8y agoThey better duck this one.
- krylon 8y agoWhen I ask Google for "duck", duckduckgo is literally the first hit. My experience may be biased, because I am from Germany, but outside of English speaking countries, they should do just fine.
- bluntfang 8y agoyour experience is biased because they give you results based on your google profile.
- peeters 8y agoI just tried it in Incognito, corporate VPN going through Virginia. DuckDuckGo was second result.
- unfreezingly 8y agoFor me, DuckDuckGo is second after Duck on Wikipedia (from US).
- amelius 8y agoIf it's really a trap like parent suggests, then Google will just change that behavior later on, right?
- kowdermeister 8y agoIt was sarcastic, the audience of DDG does not need a search engine to find a search engine. In case of WoM, it's easier to hint a friend to go to duck.com
- ChrisRR 8y agoIncognito search in the UK here: 1st result: Wikipedia Duck 2nd: Wooden Ducks 3rd: BBC duck recipes 4th: Toilet duck cleaner 5th: BBC iplayer, Sarah and Duck It goes on. The only mention of duckduckgo on the first 5 pages is this recent news

- axaxs 8y agoless searchable, but free advertising from gboard...
- lucasmullens 8y agoIt wouldn't take very long for that to change at all. People don't really search "duck" much, so it seems reasonable that duckduckgo would quickly climb to #1 for searching "duck". And it's already #1 for me (but that's likely because I've used the site before, and Google knows that)
