DuckDuckGo included in Opera

Can you shed any light on the deal terms? That search box is a major source of revenue for browsers. Did you undercut the other search engines?<p>I know it's sensitive business information but any information you can provide would be great.

While this is certainly an impressive feat, I've not found myself impressed with DuckDuckGo's results. I love the principles of having search results be free of personal information but, for a search provider that essentially collects and organizes other search engine's results, I always find myself back at Google. Often times the result I wanted was as many as 4 or 5 pages back, whereas with Google it's usually in the first 5 or so results, immediately seen on the first page.

I always found Opera to be ahead of the curve when it came to changes and new features in web browsers.<p>But I made duckduckgo the default search engine in Opera almost a week ago!<p>C'mon guys, don't let me lead the way! (It's a scary thought)

Not just "included", but according to the linked post, Opera now uses DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. That sounds like a major win for them.

Hey, what's the point of DuckDuckGo when you have the NOTORIOUS FACEBOOK TRACKING CRAP in the page <a href="http://duck.co/topic/duckduckgo-in-opera" rel="nofollow">http://duck.co/topic/duckduckgo-in-opera</a> and the forums ? see <a href="http://nikcub.appspot.com/facebook-re-enables-controversial-tracking-cookie" rel="nofollow">http://nikcub.appspot.com/facebook-re-enables-controversial-...</a> and <a href="http://www.identityblog.com/?p=1201" rel="nofollow">http://www.identityblog.com/?p=1201</a> <a href="http://europe-v-facebook.org/EN/en.html" rel="nofollow">http://europe-v-facebook.org/EN/en.html</a><p>defeats the intent and reputation of DuckDuckGo.

They should consider Blekko, too. I've found some very relevant results on it, like if I was looking for a review of a laptop or something like that.

Did they use their new funding to pay for this?

Cuil!

DuckDuckGo needs to change their name, imo. Secondly, they need to reduce the number of links you have to click through to get to a site you are looking for. The disambiguation step takes too long.

Pardon me for my ignorance, isn't this somewhat considered to be some form of anti-trust behavior?<p>If not, why does Google Chrome ask you to pick Google, Bing or Yahoo at the first use?
