I've seen Duck Duck Go when you posted before and didn't think much of the idea (hey, I can use Wikipedia!)
Just had a look again and I now think it's pretty awesome. Just for a really speedy "what the hell is this?" type of query it looks absolutely amazing. I love the AJAX extra search links, makes it all feel really snappy.
Works great on the iPhone as well, I've added an icon to my home screen. You might want to consider making an app for the app store (you could pretty much just make an app that loads the site as it is).
Have you considered adding an API? I currently have my Emacs set up to do a dictionary lookup (using the dictd protocol) on a word when I hit C-cl. I'd love to add Duck Duck Go results to the buffer this displays!
- epi0Bauqu 18y agoThanks! Yeah, we've gotten a lot better since then. On the zero-click info (what is x?) we use lots of sources now beyond Wikipedia (e.g. Crunchbase) as well as have a bunch of new features (http://duckduckgo.com/about.html http://duckduckgo.com/about.html). We also have both an iPhone app and an API :) iPhone App: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=301375111&mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftwa... API info: http://duckduckgo.com/api.html http://duckduckgo.com/api.html
- almost 18y agoWhoops, should have spotted both of those :p Both look good though!
