==Features==
===Search results===
DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google. It also uses data from crowdsourced sites to populate knowledge panel boxes to the right of the search results.
DuckDuckGo offers a Lite version of its search for browsers without JavaScript capabilities.
