Google became a household name without any extensions and even without navbar searching. They offered a superior search engine with good results, and everyone visited google.com to search. That is how “google it” became a household term and they achieved their 2 trillion dollar magnitude. Duckduckgo worked the same way. Everyone visited DuckDuckGo.com to search, enjoyed good search results with their privacy factor. There were no extensions or scripts to start, it was landing page driven. You are trying to circumvent the “hard work” aspect of creating a competitive search engine. You need to offer good search results from your landing page. Your domain is simple to type and shouldn’t be hard to remember for anyone on earth. Stop trying to skip the important steps of having a search engine and trying to fly directly to the top. Also, your api calls are ludicrous. Duckduckgo touts privacy and works without JavaScript enabled. Again, you need to stop trying to be google right out of the gate. Just offer a good product and allow people to use it as they will.
