Duck Duck Go is a search engine, like Google.

Why should I use you instead of Google?

Zero-click info, more privacy, less spam, and more. See the about page for details.

What is Zero-click Info?

It's useful info DDG gives you above the links. You get it with zero-clicks!

How do I add my site?

DDG finds sites automatically.

How can I add you to my browser?

Do you have mobile apps?

Check out our iPhone/iPad app. Android & BlackBerry in the works.

How can I get results for my country/language?

See the settings page.

How can I change the fonts?

See the settings page.

Can I turn off highlighting/shortcuts/x?

See the settings page.  I think I see a pattern :)

Do you do calculations, package tracking and stuff?

Yup, and other goodies too!

What about advanced search operators?

Yup, site:, filetype:, intitle:, inurl:, OR, AND, & quotes should all work.

Can I get search suggestions?

Not yet through us, but Nathan Friedly made a DDG+Google Suggest search plugin.

What about a Safari extension?

Victor Quinn made one. Or use glims to replace the search box.

Other cool tools?

Michael Stephens made LMDDGTFY.

Do you have image/news/blog/etc search?

Not yet, but you can do !i & other !bang keywords. There is also the right sidebar.

Why don't you have a shorter domain name?

You can use dukgo.com. That's shorter than Google :)

Do you track my searches?

Only anonymously. See the privacy policy. DDG also operates a Tor exit enclave and hidden service.

Can I use an encrypted connection?

Yup, just go to https://duckduckgo.com/. (dukgo.com redirects to there.)

Can I add the encrypted version to my browser?

Yup, just go to the encrypted homepage and then click the link at the bottom.

Can I do POST requests?

Yup, see the settings page (address bar setting).

Can I use URL parameters instead of cookies for settings?

Yup, see the params page.

Is there a non-JS version?

Not yet.

Do you have a dark theme?

Not yet.

What's with the name?

I just liked it. It is derived from Duck Duck Goose, but it's not a metaphor—really.

But how do you turn it into a verb?

Duck it!

Who runs Duck Duck Go?

Duck Duck Go is run by me, Gabriel Weinberg.

Where are you located?

Valley Forge, PA, USA.

How do you get your results?

From many sources, including DuckDuckBot, crowd-sourced sites, BOSS & Bing.

Is DDG open source?

Some of it. Also, check out the code forum.

What is DuckDuckBot?

DuckDuckBot is the DDG Web crawler.

What is DuckDuckGo written in?

Perl. Also see this old (but largely still accurate) architecture post.
