What setting are you referring to? The region one is the same as on the search result page. I find it's way too powerful for technical searches, obscuring the stuff I want.

So I keep having to flip it on and off.




You can change the settings on that page and get the link which contains these setting in the URL. Next time you go to https://duckduckgo.com/?kl=no-no instead of https://duckduckgo.com/


Ow, yea ok. Still tedious though.


Someone mentioned that the bang syntax works, e.g. !ddgno or !ddgde


How is it tedious? Are you always entering duckduckgo.com by hand?


No, but it means I can't use the search bar and have to keep in mind if I want regional or global search. With Google I just use the search bar and get my results.


I think it must be possible to make the new ddg address for search bar. In Google it is always user-tailored and local search I guess.
