The "Meanings" feature is a great thing, semantic and ubiquitous at the same time. It works well with "orange" as in the example, but searching for "Apple" directly shows result for the company without displaying the "Meanings" panel. We can't see the fruits' search results using that term, which is quite disappointing. It gets more puzzling when you search for "Apples" and are displayed with the meaning tab try: htt…
Not sure if anyone at DDG would ever read this, but my comments on the preview are still valid. The contrast is way too low, it prefers vertical over horizontal (I, like any people, have a widescreen monitor. Displaying 3 search results by default is a little absurd), a couple other issues. It feels like a mobile interface. Oh, and there's no way to revert to the old version. The options merely change the color schem…
Since this thread is potentially used for feedback, and no upvote numbers are provided, let me say: this. While the new features are welcome, the new presentation is not, at least for me. Now I can't even describe the old format, or create a clone front-end, or ANYTHING because there was no formal cutover date given to users.

And I agree. Random mandatory switchovers to new interfaces are a good way to make me stop using a product.
On my iPhone 4 browser, I don't find any way to close the DuckDuckGo web page. Until I figure that one out, this new DuckDuckGo is YuckYuckNo (ha ha, I made that one up myself, I'm so Ducking funny!)
* Someone looking to search immediately may be confused/frustrated as the text entry field is currently not visible until the slideshow ends.
* Consider relocating the "press" button away from bottom right; I almost missed it and only saw it because I'd been on the page for a few minutes, finished the slideshow and was looking for more.
* Also, when I saw that button, I thought it meant "press this to see something cool", so I was disappointed when it only took me to the company press page.
* I really like the background colour scheme on the front page but you might consider switching it off as it doesn't carry over to other pages. I.e I found the visual discontinuity a bit jarring when the search and press pages didn't reflect it; that's when I realized that the biggest message I got unconsciously was that my default DDG pages would now be in this colour (with ability to change it). I see now that the pages depicted on "inner" screen were the usual white, but I honestly didn't see/process that against the bolder background.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm sorry but this is pure spam in this context. I think it would be far more prudent to submit this as its own post.
Come on, DDG is not storing datas, neither do we. This was a good feedback and we're looking for more? Beside you know how hard it is to get just a fraction of attention from the community unless you game the stats... Thanks for downvote :-S
Here's the announcement I just posted on our blog: https://duck.co/blog/whatsnew Thank you to everyone who provided feedback to us during our public beta period! Please keep the feedback coming so we can quickly iterate. We really do listen to it all.
This is a really amazing direction in terms of design. Like most people probably, I've pretty much ignored DDG because it didn't seem to be doing anything more than Google already did, but this design is really interesting for going in a new direction. The only thing that stands out to me as less useful than the equivalent Google search at this point is the hiearchy of the results. Google uses a link-like blue color…
