I love it. If you're looking for an article on a particular topic, this lets you skim them basically before deciding which one to read. A good sample is: http:

I love it. If you're looking for an article on a particular topic, this lets you skim them basically before deciding which one to read. A good sample is: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=c%23+custom+controls&v=d http://duckduckgo.com/?q=c%23+custom+controls&v=d A quick browse lets you pick the article that seems closest to what you're actually trying to do. Google still owns on being able to find absolutely anything (Duck Duck Go still seems limited to somewhat mainstream searches), but Duck Duck Go is seriously starting to own on sensible search features that actually improve the search experience. So many people are trying to build the next way of searching, and a lot of what they come up with is insane. I really don't want a 3d cloud of search results. It's not about looking pretty. It's about finding what I want. Duck Duck Go gets this like no one since Google.

I like the preview feature. I wish this had more features though. It would be neat to divide the search results into some higher-level buckets, so I know which links are blog postings, mainstream media, forums, etc.

  Thx for the suggestion, which I also heard from several beta testers. I think this is a great idea, but we wanted to release something sooner than later.

    No problem. Great site. I always welcome better search technologies. In regards to the filtering I think allowing the user to do a bunch of cross-filters would be of immense value. Factors like type of website, author, creation/update date, etc. help bring the results down to another level of granularity. This won't be useful for all searches, but would really help optimize certain types of queries (e.g. seeking an answer to a specific problem).

      I often restrict searches by date on Google but rarely use the other options. It might be nice to have a refinement by focus of the site - is it a site mainly on the topic I'm searching for or is it a general site.
