This should now be done on organics and search assist. Thanks again!

SearchAssist is fixed, organics are taking a bit longer. Thanks again for the report, we should hopefully have the latter resolved by EoD.

We can fix this quickly at DuckDuckGo, and we will for organics. I suspect part of the problem is I am seeing a TLS issue with the nanoclaw.dev site.

Goodies on the goodies page represent all of the available instant answer types (async API calls, functions, DB full text, and DB keyword).

DuckDuckHack is a major component of DuckDuckGo's future. It's great when developers, well versed in an answer space, come in and make a goodie because the value spreads across the user base. As DDH grows, it will be neat to think

Would it help if, like the previous "Try this search on code, we primed the !bang autocomplete with site searches well represented in the results?

We originally prototyped videos with several providers including Vimeo, YouTube, and DailyMotion. Sadly there was an immediate (and difficult) safe search problem and we decided to table re-enabling the others until after we got some feedb

A new iOS app is on the way to complement the redesign.

Confirm fixed?

We were on the fence about autocomplete for a variety of reasons, but tried to be careful about minimizing distraction. It was too great a vector to introduce !bang autocomplete :). As always, please let us know what you think as it evolves

Cool! We always received a fair amount of feedback about better local search and the redesign attempts to plug a few holes. Any feedback would be great; we're just getting started!

A lot of our employees don't use LinkedIn. A leadership / core team page is on the horizon, but we've been working on cooler / product stuff :). As others have said, we're ~20 people; ~75% remote. I think our uniqu

It's not a filter bubble because by default everyone sees the exact same content, just like our Web search results. We decided early on to filter out things like rape, dismemberment, etc. that we thought were staunchly negative. Also,

Stories are showcased from over 50 carefully selected sources that focus on different types of content. For example, TIME and BBC are there, but so are Reddit Funny and BuzzFeed. We also aggressively prevent depressing and duplicate stories

Thanks for the feedback. We take the ability to search fast very seriously. There are a few home screen options in the app -- just look at the settings. Also our mobile web site is still accessible and maybe preferred over the app altogethe

In addition to the mixed content issue on Chrome, I've pushed out a fix for the tab completion component. It too inherently suffers from mixed content because our autocomplete server only does HTTP at the moment. Please let us know if you

This should be fixed. Sorry about that.

I've pushed some changes out for this. I'd appreciate if you could confirm it works as expected now.

We recently integrated Yelp into Zero-Click. You can check it out here: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=black+lab+bistro . Also get's handled on mobile.

I would say that it's mostly based on the culture you cultivate for your brand and yourself. In Gabe's post he mentioned Initech, the company from the movie Office Space, because it represents the quintessentially shitty corporately inundat

Thanks! I had a good idea about the company from the get go, so wasn't really concerned. I was still in college when I started donating my time to DuckDuckGo and never dreamed of ever being fiscally reliant on it. I am very used to contri
