Welcome to DuckDuckGo 101

Duckduckgo is a search engine that prides itself on providing spam-free clean-looking results, not collecting or sharing any personal information, and giving click free information to things that you search for.

To search, just type into the search box and click the search button.

At the top, Duckduckgo gives quick information about different things related to your search term. You can click on any option to learn more. Your search results are listed below, and as mentioned before, clutter free.

One option Duckduckgo provides is a quick way to search in different ways. If you click the dropdown arrow, you have the option to search a variety of sites or you can choose how to organize your search results. For instance, if you want to search Wikipedia, click the button and input your search. Duckduckgo will forward you directly to your search on Wikipedia.

If you type an exclamation point before your search, Duckduckgo will take you directly to the website of its best guess that matches your search term. For instance, if I type in the term "apple" after the exclamation point, I will be directed to Apple.com.

A complete list of search operators is listed below in the video description.
