Last time I saw DDG had nothing to do with Canonical , unless it changed . We never know now .
Through partnerships with developers and companies, DuckDuckGo has been integrated into many applications. In these partnerships, a portion of DuckDuckGo's advertising revenue is sometimes shared back. To assign advertising revenue and collect anonymous aggregate usage information, developers add a unique "&t=" parameter to searches made through their applications.
(It's taken from the DDG website, so yeah they are partners now). I feel like Canonical is mainly after money now...

Thanx for the info , well , will have to maybe use Dogpile , LxQuick , PrivateLee , or Gigablast now I guess , thanx for pointing this out .
[/quote]You can remove the canonical from search engine, or just search through their website. I used ixquick.com before. Or you can use startpage.com (for google searches, but I don't want to have anything with google,so). I trust ixquick more than DDG though. But I like DDG's video recommendations, recipes, and all...
