what i wrote above is technical info about doing things in general to search engines in grob, not a Newbies Guide to Setting Up DuckDuckGo

here is a crappy attempt at such a guide:

1) take that thing i pasted above, name it web-search-duckduckgo.desktop, copy it to MyDocs.
2) download a duckduckgo icon, perhaps here:
http://blog.toniob.net/public/icon-m...duckduckgo.png
3) name the icon "icon-m-web-search-duckduckgo.png" and copy it to MyDocs
4) run:
Code:
devel-su
cp /home/user/MyDocs/web-search-duckduckgo.desktop /usr/share/applications/
cp /home/user/MyDocs/icon-m-web-search-duckduckgo.png /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/icons/
apt-get install --reinstall grob
5) settings -> applications -> web -> search engine -> duckduckgo OR edit /home/user/.local/share/applications/defaults.list and change 'generic' or 'google' to 'duckduckgo'
