Hi all (CEO & Founder, DuckDuckGo here). Looks like something may have broken in a release that went out today -- >it is triggering a JS error. We're looking into it now and should have it resolved soon. UPDATE: this should be fixed now.

I’d love to know the “why” behind this bug. Assuming it’s not actually a feature!

According to commenters on HN it was a faulty regex.

Looks more like they didn’t sanitize the input properly, causing the top result Notepad++ be interpreted as a regex.
