RIP Duckduckgo

RIP Duckduckgo

Yahoo and Duckduckgo have partnered together.

Our partnership with Yahoo helps us give you the best search experience possible.

Of course, in accordance with our strict privacy policy, we do not share personal information with any partners, including Yahoo. To make this crystal clear, Yahoo has also published a privacy statement to the same effect. We’re proud to work closely with a partner who is willing to work with us to protect your privacy.

In addition to the existing Yahoo technology we had been using, our latest partnership with Yahoo enables DuckDuckGo to get access to features you’ve been requesting for years:

Date filters let you filter results from the last day, week and month.
Site links help you quickly get to subsections of sites.

All of this functionality is not fully rolled out yet, but will be soon!

I’m hoping Yahoo ruin them, like they did with Altavista. They were nice until Yahoo came along with the same guidelines and it slowly turned to shit. I hope this isn’t another repeat, but I’m not too confident. Duckduckgo became my favorite search engine after Yahoo put the final nail in Altavista’s coffin, time to look at other search engines just in case.
