categories: bits

Search & Deploy now has a search box powered by DuckDuckGo.{:rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener"} Rather than embedding an iframe we've opted for adding an actual form.

html <form class="search-box" method="get" action="https://duckduckgo.com/"> <input type="hidden" name="sites" value="search-and-deploy.gitlab.io"> <input type="hidden" name="kh" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="kg" value="p"> <input type="hidden" name="k1" value="-1"> <input type="hidden" name="k7" value="#f4f5f6"> <input type="hidden" name="k8" value="#373f51"> <input type="hidden" name="k9" value="#006394"> <input type="text" name="q" maxlength="255"> <input type="submit" value="Search"> </form> `

• omit the partnership param (t).
• turn HTTPS on (kh=1)
• use the address bar as POST (kg=p)
• turned ads off (k1=-1)
