  From what I could garner it uses the public DuckDuckGo Instant Answers API[0], which only returns results for specific queries (try "Microsoft", then try something obscure). This is most likely causing your issue. [0]: https://duckduckgo.com/api https://duckduckgo.com/api

    Sounds more like they're using mysql default settings, search is 3 characters minimum, below that it fails.

    Oh, I should've noticed based on how specific the results were. Thanks!
