Exclamation marks (!) cause duckduckgo.com to be useless.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

DuckDuckGo uses "!" as the a command declaration, however, for reasons I don't 
quite understand, using these in arora causes DuckDuckGo.com to be useless.

http://duckduckgo.com/?q=yt+Winter+rf   <-- works
http://duckduckgo.com/?q=!yt+Winter+rf  <-- Unknown Error

Unknown error

When connecting to: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=!yt+Winter+rf.

Check the address for errors such as ww.arora-browser.org instead of 
www.arora-browser.org
If the address is correct, try checking the network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that 
the browser is permitted to access the network.

This happens regardless of where I type the search

a) In the search box in arora
b) in the duckduckgo website. 

Its entirely possible the flaw is in duckduckgo, but this issue has not cropped 
up in any other browser I know of, or DuckDuckGo's critical feature ( !bang's ) 
would be known broken on those browsers.

Thats *all* it says in the inspect tab for the search when it fails.
