Permit me to try to translate what our anonymous brother is reporting.

If you are logged out and visit https://www.perlmonks.org/?node=Super%20Search you are not permitted to run the on-site search (for botalanche reasons). Instead you are presented with a link to https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%253Aperlmonks.org with link text "Use DuckDuckGo". But, following that link is problematic as the colon after "site" is not represented as such in the target search page so you would have to replace it yourself. The actual content of the search form on the target page is "site%3Aperlmonks.org" which is what DDG then auto-searches for. Not so good.

Either the link could be fixed or we could host a DDG form on the Super Search page which could just post directly to DDG. Either would be better.
