Here are a few ideas that would be cool. # hackernews / hn "hn url " - See if a URL has been posted to HN. If so show the title and link to post + comments "hn keywords " - Show HN search results with linked title and link to comments hn could be an alias to hackernews. # reddit Reddit's native search sucks in every way possible. Add a reddit keyword with similar functionality.

Good ideas, we are collecting all of them here: http://ideas.duckduckhack.com/

This is absolutely fantastic. I remember suggesting ages ago that Intel's ark.intel.com should be integrated, so if you searched for Q6600 or 2600k or i7 980 it would show you details of the processor. I might have a shot at integrating that. Does anyone know about the legality of doing so? I'm sure Intel wouldn't care, but showing the info in a zero click box would seem to be different than merely scraping the pages…

Showing extracts in search results is widely considered to be fair use: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_v._Google

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Google offered something very similar to this a few years ago: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/10/google-search-add-o... Sadly it seems to no longer be supported.

Your link also mentions that Google has a patent on this (patent no. 20070239716). Interesting.

(That's a publication number, not a patent number. Notice that it starts with a year. Issued patent numbers are sequential.)

perhaps bit OT, but read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_v._Google#Ruling

(1) Operator did not directly infringe on author's copyrighted works;

(5) Search engine fell within protection of safe harbor provision of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

wouldnt the same rules applies IF the government comes after The Pirate Bay? Or even the guy who is now being extradited to US for his linking website?

If the Pirate Bay were somehow construed as being in US jurisdiction, they would run into this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Studios,_Inc._v._Grokster,_...

This is begging to be renamed "HackHackGo." Has such a nice ring to it!

Haha, you'll notice hackhackgo.com redirects to the same place :). We had a large internal debate about the name and it came down to these two, with hacksear.ch in third.

Good choice, in the end. The brand is more "DuckDuck", not "Go".
