Nope, it's just a redirect to Google with your query filled in for the appropriate query string argument.

If you want to use Google privately, use Start Page (http://startpage.com) or Ixquick (http://ixquick.com).

The query from ddg to startpage is !sp and to Ixquick is !ix
"!s" also works for startpage
welp, time to switch to DDG full-time. Thanks!
How do the Start Page and Ixquick search engines differ?
ixquick is its own thing, but startpage mostly gets its content from google. If you want a secure way to search (mostly) google, use startpage. I miss scroogle...
