So the maps did work for you? I looked up a few places just to test it out and most of them were not found or not identified as places. I am living in New Hampshire, so perhaps they just haven't done much with NH addresses yet. I love duckduckgo and I am glad that they are making improvements but I currently can't use the map feature reliably.

(I'm from Italy) I can use it to find places, but not many, since it uses Yelp and Yelp it's not so widespread here (for example, my favourite Pizzeria: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pizzeria+anna%2C+bussero or restaurants in Milan, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=restaurants+in+Milan).

It does seems to work with streets too (taken from the first results of restaurants, https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Corso+Giuseppe+Garibaldi+68%2C+Mil...) but only big ones, It couldn't find my home.

Also not working for me if I search for some random street address (which works well on Google), even if I add a zip code to the end. Even if it isn't possible to be confident enough to show the map first thing like Google does, at least adding a map tap on any search that looks like it could possible be interpreted as a map would be cool (though I could fairly easily just add !map, so it isn't that important).

Edit: tried a few more and some of them work. It seems like intersections may never work and some addresses don't work.

Other suggestions for DDG:

Speaking of !bang!, did you consider making the tabs !images, !video, etc.? That might help more people discover that really cool feature that I didn't know existed until folks here mentioned it (and is why I switched to DDG as my primary search engine). Similarly, the "try these other search engines" section at the end could have !g, etc. in parentheses.

I'd also suggest keeping the X in the search bar visible all the time, at least if the page is wider than some minimum width.

I like the few orange lines at the top of the page as the only header to make it easier to identify the page. I just noticed the up arrow off to the right when scrolled down, which is helpful too.

I really like that you just show the site rather than the full url until I mouse over that result.

The one thing I miss is the longer text list of meanings; only being able to scroll three at a time isn't fun if I'm looking for number 11, but before it was easy to pick out #11 even if I had to click once to expand the results.

Edit: I just noticed the result site favicons, which is nice too. I don't remember if that was there before, but I hadn't explicitly noticed it. I use the FaviconizeTab extention on Firefox so I appreciate wider use of favicons :).

Yeah, I think it's not DDG's fault. It looks like they are using OpenStreetMaps, and OSM is not finding the address that I look up either. It's definitely an admirable project that I look forward to using eventually.

Thanks, that seems to be the case for me as well testing on openstreetmaps.org. In one case I tried openstreetmaps.org is returning two options (one of them being what I entered :/), so it seems like in that case DDG also just doesn't show a map tab.

(this reminds me why I never try to use OSM more than once every year or two; I hit too many cases too easily where it doesn't work; maybe I can just use DDG results to determine when OSM is worth trying :) ).

I found that for the maps to work you have to be really specific. Which I would say is a knock.

For example, a local bar here where I live is called Old Hickory Whiskey Bar. If I search for "Old Hickory <City>", I get a bunch of pictures of houses, but if I search for "Old Hickory Whiskey Bar <City>", I get a map result.
