yegg (CEO @ DDG): "We've actually been using Yahoo technology along with our own and others since the very beginning of DuckDuckGo. Over the past year though we've been working on a stronger partnership with Yahoo so we can get access to more features like date filters that everyone has been asking for (that one in particular is our most requested feature by far).

With regards to the ads, nothing is changing in terms of ad privacy/tracking or our privacy policy in general. Ads should just become more relevant."

Have you noticed "improving.duckduckgo.com", the analytics service that logs all requests ?

"To be clear, this means we cannot ever tell what individual people are doing since everyone is anonymous"
