Add hoa-project.net to DuckDuckGo

[Hywan]

ping @CircleCode :-).

[Hywan]

Just filled the classic form: https://duckduckgo.com/newbang.

[Hywan]

Still nothing. @hoaproject/hoackers, any idea?

"DDG automagically indexes the web, so your website should be listed soon. (As DDG also uses results from Bing/Yahoo, you could try submitting it to them:"

Is hoa-project.net visible on Bing/Yahoo ?

[Hywan]

Yes Hoa is present on Bing and Yahoo.

However, the goal was to introduce a bang, something like !hoa console and provides results from search.hoa-project.net. I filled the form but when it appears we are still not registered. Should we retry?

[Jir4]

Maybe we can retry to submit the form ?

[Hywan]

@Jir4 Done. Now we can add an email address, that's new. Hope we will have some feedbacks.

I received this from DuckDuckGo today:

Hi!

Your bang !hoa is now live on DuckDuckGo! Give it a try and let me know if you have any questions.

If you're as excited as we are, tell your friends on Twitter

Now we have to update search.hoa-project.net ;-).

\o/

[Hywan]

Now we have to update the search and the website:

• Update the search to the website if not a Content-Type: application/json request (I guess),
• Being able to have the search in a query (like `http://hoa-project.net/…?search=…).

Anyone on this?
