So you're scraping the info from the pages and displaying it in the DDG app? From the user's perspective it's a wonderful idea and I would love to use a search engine that did this well, but that could piss off a lot of website owners.

Interesting app but I disagree with the "going to Web sites on your phone to find information is a pain" assertion. On the iOS devices I've never found "web searches" that difficult. Am I the only one? I do like the zero-click for information though, so that could be worth it. It is also nice to see DDG's continuing efforts to ensure "private" searches.

I wish my phone could be listening to me all the time, and search for things I say like "when was Mozart born". I'm not sure how it would get the answers back to me. Maybe an ear-piece?<p>I think that would be the ultimate mobile search.<p>Has anyone tried making an app like that? Can an app on the iPhone or Android access an ear-piece?

You (epi0Bauqu) should take a look at i.reddit.com as the interface looks similar and it already works on android and iphone and going to m.dukgo.com or m.duckduckgo.com would be somewhat enticing

I just wish I could have Spotlight be a Google search instead of searching my phone. Then maybe I would actually use it.
