+1 for changing the URL color. I'd prefer it directly under the title as well. And maybe find a way to emphasize the important parts of the URL, cut out the random numbers.
Thx -- we cut stuff out of the URL now, though perhaps could cut out more. Note you can change the color in the settings: http://duckduckgo.com/settings.html
We've also experimented with moving it around (including where you suggest).
Agree - google's UI is 1000X more pleasant on the eyes, DDG made me dizzy and hard to distinguish between each result, especially with their infinite scroll.
I think I'm not alone in using the address bar less and less.
While I'm at it:
- I would probably change the color of the address in the results to make it easier to distinguish from the excerpt/description.
- Remove the green background that is displayed on hover. I find it hard to scan entries with that big green blob hovering :)
Edit: formatting
