Just google it with Bing.

It pains me that DuckDuckGo has the name that it has, since you can't even pretend to want to use that as a verb. You can use generic terms, and that's what I tend to do (usually just 'look it up (on the web)', alternativly 'search the web'), but there's good reason google entered the common lexicon and functionally replaced those terms, and finding a replacement that is as good is very, very hard.

No need to verb the name, it has one built in.

"Let me DuckDuckGo that for you." "I already DuckDuckWent."

I have used DuckDuckGo for many years, and sadly over 75% of the time I find myself adding !g to the search to get the much better Google result. I'm not sure why I still bother with DuckDuckGo.

"DDG it" rolls off the tongue

It absolutely does not. It's marginally better then the full word, but it's the same number of syllables.
