Is it easy to add support for other search engines, such as Duckduckgo?

I'm still debating whether I should add DDG support for now or not. I'd say it's definitely an enhancement among the possible list of others:

  1. DDG support
  2. Bing
  3. Google/Bing/DDG images
  4. YouTube

I just can't promise which part of the milestone it'd a part of since there's a lot of prioritization. I'll leave the issue open as there's definitely a need for this and I'll come back to it at a later point.

But honestly, it's not too much of a work at all. Feel free to contribute (81a2cda adds MIT License; but the actual addon is distribution under BSD).

Pending DDG support and I'm definitely going to use this. +1

Startpage would also be nice. Which, because it uses Google results, might this be an easy addition?

@mitchweaver confession time- I've never used Startpage more than two times in my life. Essentially in Wiper, the results are 'stripped' based on the blacklist by trimming the HTMLContent of the search results (usually in divs as Google prefers them). I will have to just examine how Startpage's HTML layout is like and it should be that easy.
