It would be nice to conduct these experiments while actually saving the searches (and results) for further study & ideas from the community on how to improve them.

I hear a lot of anecdotes about search working/not working but concrete examples remain elusive.

Intriguing idea. It'd be interesting to get DuckDuckGo involved in such a project because it's in their interest to improve search query matches.

Maybe, a browser plugin that allows you to easily report less than optimal or even irrelevant search results to DuckDuckGo (including a comparison with other search engine in case those yield more appropriate results) would be quite useful.

This obviously has privacy implications, though.
