[Solved] DuckDuckGo never fully works

[ben557]

'Images' and 'Videos'; there's never any other "zero-click info". I have Adblock Latitude and NoScript installed for Pale Moon, but they don't destroy DDG's "zero-click info" tab functionality in Firefox.

What exactly did you mean? Duckduckgo works fine for me with NoScript.

Tabs such as 'About' and other alike it -- I can't remember what they are; various instant answers -- do not appear in Pale Moon (for me); they only do in Firefox (for me).

About works fine too:

Did you try a clean profile?

Duckduckgo's Instant Answers (IA's) are dependent on the search criteria that the user enters. Some of the selections are Meanings, Images, Videos, Definition, Lyrics, Q/A and others. If none of these are showing up for you, check your DDG settings and verify that Instant Answers aren't disabled.

I use both DDG and PM on 4-5 different desktop systems daily (Windows and Linux) and the IA's categories work fine on each of them.

Oh, do you get the same results if you run PM in safe mode? I can't imagine that it would make a difference, but it's always a good idea to try.

Fixed it. I have no idea why 'Instant Answers' were turned off in DDG's settings panel. I didn't remember it's an option, and I don't remember changing it -- I may have mistaken it for something else. I always make myself look like a dumbass.

@ben557, it's all good and I'm glad you found it! I'm glad that, like me, you find PM and DDG to be a great combo!
