try

http ://duckduckgo.com/?q=

(the space is so that You can see it better)

http://duckduckgo.com/?q=

(without space - use mouse over and right-click to copy & paste)

p.s. You install Live HTTP Headers Extension; Enter a querry; For the candidates to try U look into the first couple of messages going to and from.

Here: http: //duckduckgo.com/?q=k-meleon&v=

was at the first message.

Now we cannot attach something behind and I tried with the shortened version.

I changed K-Meleon to Hannover and pasted the shortened version to URL, it seems to work ok.

Thanks guenter works like a charm grinning smiley.

A little bit about it:

DuckDuckGo is a new search engine focused on relevant results and respecting user privacy. Actually a mash-up of several other sites like Wikipedia, About, Bing, and Yahoo, DuckDuckGo also uses it's own web crawler: the DuckDuckBot. DuckDuckGo uses what it calls Zero-click search results to try to guess what you are looking for and give it to you directly in your search results. You can read more here:

Thanks again.

I think I have tried DuckDuckGo before, it looks really nice, and it works very smooth. Anybody knows how to modify the options using a search string? Because I clear my Cookies and everything so I get the default options almost with each search.
OK forget that I have found the answer while typing: https://duckduckgo.com/params.html

I have been using this search engine for a while and I think it's really a nice, powerful competitor to google.
What do you think? It could be included in KM.
