Search the web using DuckDuckGo via the ddgr CLI tool.

Also use for DuckDuckGo Bang searches (e.g., "!w" for Wikipedia, "!so" for StackOverflow).

General

What this skill does


# ddgr Web Search

Search DuckDuckGo from the terminal using [ddgr](https://github.com/jarun/ddgr).

## When to Use

- User asks to search the web or look something up
- Need current/real-time information not in training data
- User wants to find documentation, tutorials, or resources
- DuckDuckGo Bang searches (Wikipedia, StackOverflow, GitHub, etc.)

## Prerequisites

ddgr must be installed: `brew install ddgr` or `pip install ddgr`

## Basic Usage

```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json "search query"
```

**Required flags:**
- `--noua`: Disable user agent (always use this)
- `--np` (noprompt): Exit after showing results, no interactive prompt
- `--json`: Output in JSON format for parsing (implies --np)

## Options

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `-n N` | Number of results (0-25, default 10) |
| `-t SPAN` | Time filter: `d` (day), `w` (week), `m` (month), `y` (year) |
| `-w SITE` | Search within a specific site |
| `-r REG` | Region-specific search (e.g., `us-en`, `uk-en`, `in-en`) |
| `-x` | Show full URLs instead of domain only |
| `-j` | "I'm Feeling Ducky" - open first result in browser |
| `-i` | Retrieve instant answer only |
| `--unsafe` | Disable safe search |
| `--rev` | List results in reversed order |
| `-p URI` | HTTPS proxy (also reads `https_proxy` env var) |

## DuckDuckGo Bangs

Bangs redirect searches to other sites. Escape `!` in bash/zsh:

```bash
ddgr --noua --np \!w "search term"      # Wikipedia
ddgr --noua --np \!so "python error"    # StackOverflow  
ddgr --noua --np \!gh "repo name"       # GitHub
ddgr --noua --np \!yt "video topic"     # YouTube
ddgr --noua --np \!a "product"          # Amazon
```

## Search Keywords

```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json "filetype:pdf annual report"
ddgr --noua --np --json "site:reddit.com python tips"
```

## Examples

**Basic search:**
```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json "python asyncio tutorial"
```

**Recent results (last week):**
```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json -t w "latest news topic"
```

**Site-specific search:**
```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json -w stackoverflow.com "parse JSON"
```

**Region-specific (India, English):**
```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json -r in-en "IPL cricket"
```

**Instant answer:**
```bash
ddgr --noua --np -i "weather new york"
```

**Limit to 5 results:**
```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json -n 5 "quick query"
```

## JSON Output Structure

Each result contains:
- `title`: Page title
- `url`: Full URL
- `abstract`: Description/snippet

Parse with `jq`:
```bash
ddgr --noua --np --json "query" | jq '.[].title'
ddgr --noua --np --json "query" | jq -r '.[0].url'  # First result URL
```
