Neat! Thanks for the info/site/email thread.
> You missed a spot in your handling of bang syntax, DuckDuckGo allows you to use either "\", "! " or "!ducky " to find the first result, you don't handle "\".
I left this out on purpose since I don't really consider it part of "bang" syntax since it doesn't include ! ("bang") but I suppose I'm just splitting hairs at this point.
> Also, to anyone using DuckDuckGoog or my GooseGooseGo you should be aware that you're trusting some (other) random dudes on the internet with your searches, I don't log anything with GooseGooseGo (no access or error logs), but you only have my word for that.
Agreed, this is a concern. I posted a link to the GitHub repo for DuckDuckGoog in the site's footer but of course it's my word against the user's that that is the current code being used on the site and that I didn't add in any tracking code in the build process or anything.
