DuckDuckGo Search Box http://amdavidson.com/2012/01/duckduckgo-search-box http://amdavidson.com/2012/01/duckduckgo-search-box Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:24:56 -0000

I've recently been transitioning to a statically generated blog and this threw any plans for a home brewed search functionality out the window.

Fortuitously, I ran across a blog post by Pat Dryburgh that describes how he setup a custom DuckDuckGo search box that was well integrated stylistically into his site.

I took his lead and did the same with the code below:

<form method="get" id="search" action="http://duckduckgo.com/">
  <input type="hidden" name="sites" value="amdavidson.com"/>
  <input type="text" name="q" maxlength="255" placeholder="Search&hellip;"/>
  <input type="submit" value="DuckDuckGo Search" style="visibility: hidden;" />
</form>

If you're looking for a search box for your statically generated blog, I heartily recommend it.
