Nice interview and they don't store search data. http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/new_scientist/2013/06/duckduckgo_privacy_a_search_engine_that_doesn_t_tr ack_its_users.html

Interesting from DuckDuckGo's privacy policy.

"At some other search engines (including us), you can also use an encrypted version (HTTPS), which as a byproduct doesn't usually send your search terms to sites. However, it is slower to connect to these versions and if you click on a site that also uses HTTPS then your search is sent. Nevertheless, the encrypted version does protect your search from being leaked onto the computers it travels on between you and us.

At DuckDuckGo, our encrypted version goes even further and automatically changes links from a number of major Web sites to point to the encrypted versions of those sites. It is modeled after (and uses code from) the HTTPS Everywhere FireFox add-on. These sites include Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon to name a few."

it's a noble thing but seeing it as some sort of substitute is completely unrealistic.

I just tried and thought it didn't show relevant returns like Google and Bing do.
