DuckDuckGo is a search engine startup whose claim to fame is their strict privacy policy:
DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information. That is our privacy policy in a nutshell. The rest of this page tries to explain why you should care.
Like most other search engines, DuckDuckGo offers a search box code snippet that can be used for site-specific search. Adding this to a Movable Type blog is very straightforward:
- Create your own search box on the DuckDuckGo site (make sure to add your domain in the Site Search field); copy and save the iframe code snippet
- Login to your Movable Type installation and navigate to the Widgets page
- Create a new widget named “SearchDuckDuckGo” and set the content as shown below
- Add the SearchDuckDuckGo widget to the appropriate widget set
- Rebuild your blog to see the results
The Movable Type widget code will look like the following, with the <iframe> portion copied from the DuckDuckGo site:
<div class="widget-search widget">
<h3 class="widget-header">Search
<div class="widget-content">
<iframe src="http://duckduckgo.com/..."></iframe>
</div>
</div>
If you have a little more room, you can get fancier and include the DuckDuckGo logo, or use the banner version which has a quick summary of the service:
Note: These steps were confirmed on Movable Type 4.x and should be similar on 5.x.
