These are the things I use daily that I find the most useful: Lots of nice zero-click goodies: * StackOverflow integration: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=remove+directory+symlink (can also search directly with !so) * IP Address: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=ip * Common symbol tables: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=ascii+table http://duckduckgo.com/?q=html+entities * Wolfram Alpha integration: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=d%28cos%28x^…

Yikes, sorry about that.

Lots of nice zero-click goodies:

* StackOverflow integration: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=remove+directory+symlink (can also search directly with !so)

* IP Address: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=ip

* Common symbol tables: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=ascii+table http://duckduckgo.com/?q=html+entities

* Wolfram Alpha integration: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=d%28cos%28x^2%29%2F%28e^x%29%29+dx

Disambiguation (great for software with a common word/term as a name), e.g. homebrew: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=homebrew

Favicons in the results. This lets me easily focus in on the sites that I think will be most useful.

Direct search of many programming references with bang-syntax:

* Ruby: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=!ruby+IO

* JQuery: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=!jquery+fadeIn

* Clojure: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=!clojure+deref

There are many more goodies I keep discovering (one nice surprise the other day was that searching for "Community" (a TV show) gave me the air date of the next episode). The best feature of DDG is the extensive integration with domain-specific information sources or search tools that often give me the information I'm looking for with no clicks at all.

I made it to 1M so far.

Congratulations! Iconfinder.com is a site I use about every other day it seems. I've introduced it to a handful of other people and everyone loves it. Thanks for making such a great site!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you all. For users of DDG - You can use the !icon to search Iconfinder directly.

We should do a tighter integration so when someone searches for icon x we show some in the 0-click box.

Thanks :)

(And yeah, I understand that I could have done that myself and hence the downvote)
