- gatesphere 7y agoDDG is an entirely different search engine, they don't use Google. If you want to build your own engine, go ahead :)
- Jack000 7y agoI mean the !g bang - DDG has the option of getting results from Google and Bing. Bing offers an API for $6/10000 queries, but Google does not - I'm curious how they have access to Google search results.
- gpm 7y ago!g doesn't load googles results on duckduckgo's page, it just forwards you to the appropriate google page. A quick test suggests the format is https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=<query> (Google might have redirected me after whatever ddg directed me to, but just using this format should work)
