The redirect can be disabled in our settings.

Go to https://duckduckgo.com/settings#privacy and disable the bottom setting, "Redirect (When Necessary)"


Set it. 12 hours on and still getting redirected via ddg servers. The Settings page shows correct preferences.

I'm not on an older browser.

I'm not using private tabs / incognito.

I haven't cleared cookies.


This is a little tool I made to ease my Spring repo cleaning. It's not possible to archive or delete multiple GitHub repos at once on GitHub.com, and I noticed many people were passing around scripts as a way to achieve this. I figured it would be even easier with a nice UI, and I was looking for an excuse to play around with Vue.js

I hope other devs find this useful! Feel free to send feedback, or open issues on GitHub.

Thanks.


We're working to improve our feedback process, but as mentioned, we have a "Feedback" button at the bottom right of every search result page.

Clicking this opens a form right on the results page which you can use to specify what the feedback is about (link results, image results, ads, etc.) and why you're happy/unhappy with what you're seeing.

This feedback is reviewed daily by our team.


Hey there,

To clarify, we haven't closed anything that was previously open, and all open source Instant Answers will remain open.

For now, we've paused community contributions for new Instant Answers and non-essential changes, until we can find a better way to work with the community and their contributions.


A better way than open sourcing it?


Our instant answers are open source. You can see the Perl used for the passphrase Goodie here: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/blob/mas...

We’re not storing these generated phrases anywhere.


FWIW, you can also write the documentation parsers (Fathead type Instant Answers) in Python, and Ruby

For example, here is a parser for the Python docs, written in Python: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead/blob/mas...

and the same for Ruby: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-fathead/blob/mas...


For 1 -- try adding "news" to the query. That should almost always trigger our News Instant Answer

For 2 -- We actually have maps powered by openstreetmap: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=20+paoli+pike+paoli&ia=maps


These are all community-contributed. You can view all the JSON source files here: https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/tree/mas...

and you can search for Cheat Sheets (and all other Instant Answers) here: https://duck.co/ia?q=cheat+sheet


It's all open-source. These are powered by simple JSON files, you're welcome to submit a LaTeX Cheat Sheet :)

https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/tree/mas...

I think we have over 200 cheat sheet now


Which Goodie is it? I'd be happy to see why it's not triggering.


I actually emailed open@duckduckgo.com and got a real quick response. There is an issue open on Github now that I am following through with. Thanks for checking. If you're interested the Goodie is this one:

https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-goodies/blob/mas...


Yup, that was me :)

Thanks again for notifying us, I'll be checking if any other Goodies may have fallen through the cracks.
