DuckDuckGo Features That Make It Unique

In DuckDuckGo’s earlier days, it was regarded as a “stripped-down” version of Google. Privacy advocates were becoming concerned with Google’s long list of other services besides its search engine. Google was once clean and simple, but had become covered with ads and other issues. Although DuckDuckGo was once a very simple metasearch engine, it has become especially feature-rich over the past few years.

Instant Answers

Many DuckDuckGo searches include “Instant Answers”, which give you answers to your questions directly on the search results page. The search engine draws instant answers from over 100 sources. DuckDuckGo has over 1200 Instant Answers according to it’s developer page. These answers include coding cheat sheets, games and abbreviations.
