I’m just trying to set Duckduckgo as search engine with keyword ( dx for example) but it will not work. tried loads of combos. Any idea why? Other search like g for google works exactly as expected… thanks ---

Can you show me the configuration you applied in Listary with duckduckgo? ---

I know it’s only a small thing… Here’s a screenshot: [Dropbox - listary screenshot 01.06.23.png - Simplify your life](https://www.dropbox.com/s/b0taxo6rxr8fbtn/listary%20screenshot%2001.06.23.png?dl=0) I have tried different variations on the keyword and the URL, not having any success. I should add, when I try google I type a ‘g’ and then a space and the name expands to read ‘Google’ and then I stick the search term in. Hth thanks ---

I see what the problem is. The keyword can be any abbreviation you put in and the keyword doesn’t affect anything. The problem is in the URL you have put, I see that it is incomplete. So replace what you have with: `https://duckduckgo.com/?q={query}&atb=v380-1&ia=web` And then, in Suggestion provider select Google, finally click on Ok And don’t forget to add a custom image (optional). To do that click on the folder icon next to the balloon 🌐 and select the image I will leave [here](https://wormhole.app/xzpQx#4fkqveTaOIa7U2NQeDx0zw). Here is my configuration and how DuckDuckGo looks like in Listary. ![image_11](https://discussion.listary.com/uploads/default/original/2X/4/499ec010ffb0b3204f693a597b8cc0985ad89263.png) [/uploads/default/original/2X/6/63075bc3e750b1042211dbbfe03c2fa016512ba4.mp4](https://discussion.listary.com/uploads/default/original/2X/6/63075bc3e750b1042211dbbfe03c2fa016512ba4.mp4) ---

ah…many thanks. I did try different versions of the url. all working now btw, when I went to get the icon I got this: “These files are unavailable The sender left before finishing the upload. You will not be able to download the files. Ask the sender to re-upload the files to Wormhole.” thanks again 🙂 ---

You’re welcome! 😉 > btw, when I went to get the icon I got this: > “These files are unavailable > The sender left before finishing the upload. You will not be able to download the files. Ask the sender to re-upload the files to Wormhole.” It’s weird, on my side I don’t see that message. Try again, and if you still have the same problem I’ll re-upload the file. ---

I’ve clicked on everything on that Wormhole page with no success : / Same message as before. I’ve emptied out my cache etc. When I check my download list it just hangs with a ? mark… I’m sure I can get it together to make an icon for it thanks for your help though. I think this is one of the best utility apps out there so was trying to dive into a it a bit more deeply as it is capable of a lot more than I’m currently getting out of it… ---

It’s ok, no problem. As I said before, on my side I have no problem with the wormhole link. This time I uploaded it to [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vS607NMqmqpGzqVVYZXWmtnH5QoHxRnQ/view?usp=drivesdk) I think now you can download it.
