Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

+1 "DuckDuckHack"

If it hacks like a duck...

How does ranking between plugins work? Is the order arbitrated in advance?

Plugins should be narrow enough to only ever trigger one of them

VerticalSet is offering similar functionality. DuckDuckGo is starting to go in the same direction. http://www.verticalset.com/ Although aim is same to make search engine a platform, technologically it is rather different. Would love to hear feedback on this.

I actually quite like VerticalSet as the display is very clean. The thing that is most interesting about is is the installable extensions. Assuming its still around in a few years like DDG it may be worth spending some time to create some of them.

Thanks for compliments, I don't see stopping development any time soon.

Nice! Will this be integrated with the zero-click info API at http://api.duckduckgo.com/ ?

The goodies/fathead plugins should auto-flow through. Spice/longtail are a bit more complicated but would love to get them in at some point.
