Steemit & google search: a curious choice for site wide search.
This is more of a question of curiosity to me than some sort of demand but why dose steemit use google for its site search function? instead of something like duck duck go?
I know this is not really a blog post more of a question but i wanted to know what you guys think.
Because Google is the easiest search engine to integrate probably. Take a look at this quote from DuckDuckGo:
"Because of the way we generate our search results, we do not have the syndication rights to allow you to host our results on your site (e.g. in a frame). When your users click on the results they will be instead taken to our site."
It seems Google custom search is just the best option.

thanks for shareing, that is pretty intresting and your right google search is proably the best option for quick results.
