DuckDuckGo Is Down
I was having intermittent search failures this morning, but now every query results in this error:
Sorry, we ran into an error displaying these results. Click here to try again.
I tried looking for an official status page, but couldn't find one. That said, it looks like others are having the same issue: https://downdetector.com/status/duckduckgo/
EDIT: They've now updated the search results page with the following after it returns no results:
We’re experiencing an outage.
Thanks for your patience while we get our ducks in a row!
- ndsipa_pomu 1y agoCame here as my searches were failing (UK)
- alias_neo 1y agoSame (also UK).
- csmattryder 1y agoGot DDG set as the default search engine in Firefox. Saw the error, immediately typed "duckduckgo status" into the address bar and searched - in DDG. Not my smartest moment.
- mgd 1y ago!ai are you down?
- extua 1y agoI didn't realise bang operators work even when DuckDuckGo itself is down. That's pretty neat, I don't need to change the search in the address bar, just add '!g' to every search to seamlessly redirect to Google until DuckDuckGo is back.
- MaikaDiHaika 1y agoI did the exact same thing! Yeah, not my smartest moment either.
- Mordisquitos 1y agoHaha. I only avoided that reflexive action because my reflex when a large online service is down is to start typing 'news.ycom...' in my address bar and then scroll down to search :-) Of course hilarity will ensue the day I experience a HN outage and wish to see if anyone has made a thread about it...
