DuckDuckgo

Let me take a quack at this

If you set DuckDuckGo to show "All WOT + favicons (both)", the WOT icons appear all the time. Trust, caution or warning for each result respectively.

Thanks Jamin4u. Unfortunately, that's not completely how DuckDuckGo works on my system.

To clarify, I have it installed as a Firefox add-on. Since all cookies are deleted when I close FF, I am using the URL feature in DuckDuckGo to save its settings.

Here's what happens on my system. As shown in image 1, when I use the search box shown by the arrow, then WOT icons appear.

But if I use the seach box shown in image 2, then WOT icons do not appear.

When I use StartPage, the WOT icons appear regardless of the search box that is used.

So what's the go with DuckDuckgo?

Should I add the 1st (DuckDuckgo) or (DuckDuckgo SSL) to my search engine list?

Seen this today, Linux Mint 12 has made duckduck the default search engine

Yep, using Linux Mint 12 as I write this. Having used Fedora, Ubuntu, and openSUSE so far, Linux Mint isn't that great. In fact, I'm finding the default interface to be quite ugly, so I'll probably just install Ubuntu again. But DuckDuckGo is a pretty nice search engine.

I see what you did there. :lol:

DDG has come under scruitny for its partnership with Bing, or so I glimpsed an article regarding that this morning.

Can we have a link to it?

Guess you might mean this

I did a search myself with duckduck and do not agree with the findings in the article. It showed up for me.

'course hazelnut, like me, uses quotes when starting her first search. My guess is both the Author of the article (who actually concludes that there is no filtering) and the original neigh sayers (or is in nay-sayers) did not use the useful Boolean skills that they should have been taught in primary school, but probably were not.

Mr. Ed says "neigh".
