ddgr is an awesome command line utility to search DuckDuckGo from the terminal. Unlike the web interface, you can specify the number of search results you would like to see per page. It really is a lot more convenient than scrolling through 30 something search results per page. The interface has been carefully designed to use minimum space without sacrificing readability. Well this is at least true with the default interface. One of the main advantages of us using ddgr over one of the many other command line based search utilities is that DuckDuckGo works over the Tor network. If you seem interested and would like to check out ddgr then either click on the link at the top....

Ever wanted to create one of those neat look search boxes that used to be found on apples website ?? Well here's the HTML & CSS code to create just the thing. Note that with search boxes you can change the action=“http://www.duckduckgo.com/search" to any search engine you like. I've chosen to use Duckduckgo because that's my search engine of choice.

[ NOTE THE “FORM” & “INPUT” HTML WAS NOT SHOWING CORRECTLY SO I HAD TO ENTER A SPACE AT THE START AFTER “<“. PLEASE REMOVE THIS SPACE BEFORE USING THIS CODE ]

HTML

< form method="get" action="http://www.duckduckgo.com/search" id="search" target="_blank">
< input name="q" type="text" size="40" placeholder="Search..." />

CSS

#search input[type="text"] {
background-color; #87afc7;
border: 0 none;
font-family: 'Ubuntu Mono', monospace;
color: #222222;
width: 400px;
padding: 6px 15px 6px 35px;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
border-radius: 20px;
text-shadow: 0 2px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1), 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) inset;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1), 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) inset;
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1), 0 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) inset;
-webkit-transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
-moz-transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
-o-transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
transition: all 0.7s ease 0s;
}
 
#search input[type="text"]:focus {
width: 400px;
}

People share their most intimate secrets with their search engine without even stopping to think. This can be little day to day things, massive life changing events, or just things that make you, pretty much you. All of this personal information should be private, but with Google it’s not. Google tracks your searches and packs it up into a data profile for advertisers to follow you around the Internet. Some people say that you can simply use incognito mode, but whats the fun in that when you can't guarantee yourself that it's actually doing what it's said to do. To keep your searches private and out of data profiles you should consider using DuckDuckGo. Duck won't track you one bit, regardless of what browsing mode you are currently running. Every time you do a search with Duck, you start fresh as if it’s your first time and you’ve never visited before. Duck doesn’t store anything that can link you to your searches. For more details you should consider reading their privacy policy....
