DuckDuckGo Raises $10M

If anybody is curious for the distribution of used searches between ddg/!g, I came up with this rough estimate for firefox:

  sqlite3 ~/.mozilla/firefox/*default*/places.sqlite "select substr(p.url,9,14) as search_backend,count(1) from moz_places p where p.url like 'https://duckduckgo%' or p.url like 'https://%.google.%/search%' group by search_backend;"

I fall back to google every 11th query, not counting maps searches.

I got:

    duckduckgo.com|14129
    encrypted.goog|345
    images.google.|1
    ipv6.google.co|1
    mail.google.co|2
    play.google.co|10
    translate.goog|2
    www.google.co.|1106
    www.google.com|2084

Rather interesting. I'll compare with my personal PC when I get home.

I fall back every 21st query. That said, Google doesn't always find the answer in those cases, either.

duckduckgo.com|5521

www.google.com|6

So... I guess that means I don't really need google for search?
