# Duck Duck Go + (Proxied) Google Suggests



This project creates OpenSearch Plugins that combine [Duck Duck Go](http://duckduckgo.com/) searches with [Google Suggestions](http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=106230). It optionally proxies the suggestions via a node.js server to restore the !bangs that Google removes from the suggestions.



About !bangs: [http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html](http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html)

## ⚠️ Deprecated



Now that Duck Duck Go offers their own search suggestions, this project is deprecated an no longer maintained or supported.



## Installation / Server Configuration:



Installing this script is almost as simple as downloading it to a directory and running it. You'll need to do two things to get it ready:



* find-and-replace "ddgg.nfriedly.com" with your site's url in `index.html` and `ddg-google-proxied.xml`.

* update or delete the Google Analytics code at the bottom of `index.html`



After that, run 

    node server.js

And your server should be up and running on port 8080!



### Deployment to Heroku



This should be runnable for free on Heroku
