securitybreach Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I just ran across this neat little AUR package that gives you DuckDuckGo searches in the terminal AUR Link and Githuh protect page 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa4chq Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Interesting. I haven't got past the "no results" yet. "?" for me wasn't much help and didn't find a "man" page. Guess I need to do some research. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa4chq Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 BTW, I installed to MX. I'm looking at the article for Ddgr on "Awesome Open source". Has a lot of info....awesome! (I hate that word) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Oh, I forgot to mention.. So in the above search, if I just type 10 or whatever result I want, it immediately launches your default browser and goes to the result. Very, very fast.

wa4chq Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 For browsing from the terminal, I'll stick with Lynx or Links. To use Ddgr, I'd probably have to build from source. As is, it doesn't function correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you type the number of the results, it opens automatically in the browser as fast as if you simply clicked a link in the browser.

wa4chq Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 But it does not work. I went to the site on Awesome whatever and tried using their examples. Output is always the same. Then went to http://fossbytes.com and searched "How To Search DuckDuckGo From Terminal Using ‘ddgr’" and tried one of their examples. ddgr -w drudgereport.com output >>> No Results I'm fine searching the regular way. Tnx all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Oh, I didnt use it like that. I typed ddgr and when it came up, I searched my query. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
