duckduckgo implemented

[Matthew Phillips]

Hey guys, just a small heads up : !mcpan is now a search bang operator
on duckduckgo.

any query like `!mcpan string` gets redirected to search.metacpan
automatically.

Cheers,
Matt

Please ignore. My fingers are trigger-happy tonight. That's the second email I hadn't meant to send. I think I need more to drink.

Cheers,

That's strange. I'm seeing 8 results. Is this still the case for you? Are you able to see results for other searches?

Best,

Yes, still the case. No results in Safari or Chrome. Searching for DBI turns up 570 entries.

I get the 8 entries if I search for DBIx::Connector, though. It only fails with a search for DBIx%3A%3AConnector.

I just tried it as well, and the link you listed worked for me too. Shows 8
results.

Ok apparently it's the escaped html in the url. Firefox has no problem with
them, but webkit, Opera and IE all do.

I've just changed the controller to decode the queries before sending them
to ElasticSearch. It seems to have fixed the problem on my Windows machine
here in non-Firefox browsers.

Please give it another try and let me know.

Thanks,

Mark

Still returns 0 results for me. :-(

Hmm strange. I just tried it in Opera, Chrome, Safari, IE and Firefox.
Worked for me in all of them.

Could you try clearing out your cache and trying again? Maybe it's just old
javascript being run. We have really short expiry times turned on for
content right now I think so I wouldn't have thought this would be a problem
but one never knows.

Yep, shift-reload fixed it. Thanks!
