Go Duck Yourself

Following Ben Brooks’ lead, I’ve decided to replace my site’s search engine with DuckDuckGo. But all of the solutions he’s linked up have been a little fiddly and require editing your theme files. And while I’m okay with doing that, I realize a lot of folks probably aren’t.

So I pulled together this little bit of form code:

All you need to do is change “example.com” to your domain and drop the code in a text widget. Like this:

Easy, right? Now nothing is stopping you from using DuckDuckGo as your WordPress site’s search engine!

Like the new theme? Want to play with it on your site? Well, it’s not in the WordPress theme directory just yet. But it is in Automattic’s SVN repository…

Grab Reddle via SVN and give it a whirl. And if you want to see what it’s capable of (or I’ve managed to change my theme) check out the demo at WordPress.com.

Hello

I’m just going to go ahead and leave this here. You should probably watch it when you have a minute… (Thanks Sarah!)
