This has been my issue with DuckDuckGo from the start... it needs to be somethin...

But none of Google's alternative sound any better.

I'll bing it.

I'll brave it.

I'll ecosia it.

I'll kagi it.

I'll startpage it.

I'll yandex it.

Okay "I'll brave it" does sound fine, especially in our brave new world, but it's still ambiguous when speaking it.

Duck it isn't bad. My order for best private search engine goes brave>Kagi>Duckduckgo=startpage

Kagi's -> 'fetch it' (dog mascot play)

No need to turn a brand into a verb for this.

You look it up.

Yeah, despite using Google still. I just say "Search".

"Let me just search that up for you"

Both work perfectly fine.

I'm not saying that it necessarily needs to be a word that's easily turned into a verb, but it certainly doesn't need to be quite such a mouthful

I still use google as a verb even though I use Kagi.

Duck it.

Mind the F being dangerously close to the D on most keyboards here :-)
