Duck Duck Go: An New Interesting Search Engine

Posted: 16 May 2009 10:34 AM PDT

Like some people had noticed, I came across this new search engine that had been a buzz over the web. Duck Duck Go is actually a search engine – and obviously a new player in the market. However, people seem to remember this site by its first two names Duck Duck.

Like the biggest search engine Google, Duck Duck Go adapted a similar site design, except that the Duck Duck Go graphic above the search form uses more vibrant colors.

I gave this search engine a few runs. I was not disappointed at seeing that this freelance blog had been also indexed by this one. SEO professionals might be disappointed to see the Duck Duck lists only the first six top results, unlike other search engines which normally display ten searches on the first page of the results. I can not also see other options on how I am able to refine my existing search, except those suggested links to other site searches – I think Duck Duck Go should consider having this feature seriously.

Duck Duck also lets any user add this site to any Firefox user's list of search engines. I was able to add this search engine without any problems.

Duck Duck has clearly modeled itself on the biggest search engine players. I've met a few search engines here and there, and got them featured, but I think this new search engine might find difficulties knocking out the three giants Google, Yahoo and MSN.
