sometimes dukgo.com isnt working and im getting sick of it. i hate typing in the long URL and i type in this one instead, sometimes it will load other times it wont load at all and will completely stop. what happened?
I have never seen it not work or had anyone else report the problem. Are you going directly to http://dukgo.com/ ? https://dukgo.com/ indeed does not work -- is that the issue?
For Firefox: Just save DDG as a bookmark and tag it with "duck" or whatever word you want to use. Then you won't need to type the long URL. Moreover you can add it to your browser's search engines and give it a keyword like "dd".
That's really odd. I've never heard anyone else having any trouble with it. It just does a simple redirect to https://duckduckgo.com/. At what frequency does it happen? In all browsers? In all network locations you operate on?
Mine has quit working too; most of my searches end up with "Done" and a blank screen. Just discovered that it works on Internet Explorer but not on Mozilla Firefox.
Is the redirection working correctly? Or does it just stop there -- the fact that you're saying "searches" indicates to me that the redirection works but then the searches do not?
I believe Yegg wants everyone to use ddg.gg instead of dukgo.com because dukgo.com is going to be the home of the DuckDuckGo community platform. (see this topic)
