Google is basically a verb at this point. It's hard to tell people to DuckDuckGo it.

GoDuck might be interesting. "GoDuck it."

You could return to the neutral non-branded term of 'search' it.

Even better: You can work an making "google" a generic term for searching – "I'm googling it on DuckDuckGo" – which increases awareness of other search engines and decreases the association of the common activity "googling" with the company "Google".

I believe the idea is to be more of a guerrilla evangelist for DDG, but the brand name makes that hard.
