html.duckduckgo-GET

Use the GET protocol instead of POST with html.duckduckgo.com/html. Useful for for storing search history urls.

What it does

1. Change the submit method from POST to GET
2. Remove duckduckgo proxy from the search results

Optionally, the branding.php filter also:

1. Changes out the logo to logo.svg (stored on server)
2. Changes the name from DuckDuckGo to whatever you please (Changes made in sourcecode)

How to use

This is intended to be run on your own server or as a localhost on your machine. Requests are still made to duckduckgo's servers.

1. Install a webserver (I use apache)
2. Install and enable php for your server
3. Rename duckduckgo.php (or branding.php if you prefer) to index.php and put it in the proper path (often /var/www/html/ on debian and /srv/http/ on arch)
4. index.php has to be in a folder named /html/. Thus if your root folder is /var/www/, duckduckgo.php needs to be in /var/www/html/, the url will be http://localhost/html/
