"Search (for) it." Most people are going to use Google, maybe Bing, maybe Bahoo!, and are barely aware of and would not use another search engine. Those that do know about DDG will either use it or not. Whenever I include a search link in an email (or HN thread) it's always a DDG link, except for those rare searches where I get nothing back from DDG. I think that's one of the best ways to promote DDG. Bonus, the DDG search links are unadulterated. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck+duck+go https://duckduckgo.com/?q=duck+duck+go Firefox, Ubuntu plus whatever 2 or 3 way deal Google has with all that: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&cp=6&gs_id=11&xhr=t&q=duck+duck+go&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&site=&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=duck+d&aq=0&aqi=g4&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=d6b7c50fe1987ca1&biw=1008&bih=600 http://www.google.com/#hl=en&cp=6&gs_id=11&xhr=t...

I didn't ask for that, and I would have to clean that up before I pasted that google search into an email.

And by the way, if you want to search google a little more anonymously, do it via DDG. In your search bar or on DDG's page, type in !g your search term. You'll be redirected to Google's search, and the URL will be relatively clean: From ddg, !g duck duck go gives you: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=duck%20duck%20go https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=duck%20duck%... I still didn't ask for the hl=en bit, but it's much better than the cascade of line noise that Google would otherwise give you. Edit: minor wording.
