I've been working with Yegg on what I believe is a better way to search DuckDuckGo from Safari, compared to existing methods (toolbars, InputManager hacks, etc.).





If you're familiar with the 'hosts file', the way it works is pretty simple. There's now a DuckDuckGo server set up to respond to Yahoo, Google or Bing requests, and redirect them to DuckDuckGo. So you can search using Safari's built-in search bar, and it just goes to DDG instead.

We need some people to help us test:





1. Are the instructions good?

2. Does the Mac app work correctly?

3. Does the DuckDuckGo server work correctly?





If you can help by giving us feedback on one or more of the above, it would be greatly appreciated!



Hey everyone,
