Say you want to refer to the JavaScript docs, you can type:

"!javascript function" and it will take you immediately to the documentation.

This works sporadically for me, and the autocomplete text is completely wrong: http://i.imgur.com/v3skzTX.png

That search, "!ruby string", also redirects to... a google search?

Luckily DuckDuckGo is partially open, you can help contribute fixes :)

Duck duck go does not share search data with any open search database e.g. YaCy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YaCy

It'd be pretty great if they did!
