I read about it in the paper; had not heard of them before. Tried it, liked it, hope they keep on with the same format.

(a newish search engine: NO ads, just results. The next time you want internet info, try duckduckgo.com)

RE: duck duck go

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'm a bit leary about search engines that I"m not familiar with so I gave it a test drive. It had a 411 file on DH, a file that we have tried to delete from the major search engines.
I'm going to test drive it some more. But here is the info on the GP from meldy.

Here is a link that might be useful: meldy

RE: duck duck go

It always amuses me to see what comes up when you do a search on your user name (or on my name). If you do it within the GW forum, it will mostly be posts within that forum, but doing it on a general engine search is like reaching into the magician's hat. There's no logic, no date-order, no reason that I've ever been able to figure out as to what will show up. Granted, I don't post much any more, but why did a 2005 posting come up along with a 2011 post? Search results can be weird.

WestG ~ ddgo is just a linking search engine minus the ads. As we've all said many times, anything posted on the internet is open to the public and that includes anything posted on GW.

RE: duck duck go

meldy, I"m not knocking duck duck go, I'm just testing it.
Yes, I know that everything we post is on the internet forever, and somewhere, somehow it will pop-up.
I was on the net when google got started and I freaked out when I saw some of my posts and some of my personal information show up.

That's why I look every search engine in the mouth.
