Various comments are noting that certain queries are not working. I think this is hitting a caching/prefetch layer and not actually querying the main index. My theory: - this was a hackathon/weekend/20%(ish) project... - ...using JSON for simplicity... - ...said JSON endpoint needs to be exposed in a straightforward way... - ...without implementing authentication/obfuscation (which would have blown the allotted time budget)... - ...and so the decision was made to "break" the results in some way instead, so that once you realize https://duckduckgo.com/?q=test&o=json is EXTREMELY easy to parse, it's of no value. |

I'm not sure this was ever intended to be more than just a quick project. It breaks because parsing has a lot of edge cases, and this was done quickly.
