NAME

       ddgr - DuckDuckGo from the terminal

SYNOPSIS

       ddgr [OPTIONS] [KEYWORD [KEYWORD ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       ddgr is a command-line tool to search DuckDuckGo (html version). ddgr shows the title, URL
       and text context for each result. Results are fetched in  pages.  Keyboard  shortcuts  are
       available  for  page  navigation.  Results are indexed and a result URL can be opened in a
       browser using the index number. There is no configuration file as aliases serve  the  same
       purpose for this utility. Supports sequential searches in a single instance.

       Features

         * Fast and clean; custom color
         * Designed for maximum readability at minimum space
         * Instant answers (supported by DDG html version)

         * DuckDuckGo Bangs (along with completion)
         * Open the first result in browser (I'm Feeling Ducky)
         * REPL for continuous searches
         * Keywords (e.g. `filetype:mime`, `site:somesite.com`)
         * Limit search by time, specify region, disable safe search
         * HTTPS proxy support, optionally disable User Agent
         * Do Not Track set by default

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Show help text and exit.

       -n, --num=N
              Show  N  results  per  page  (default 10). N must be between 0 and 25. N=0 disables
              fixed paging and shows actual number of results fetched per page.

       -r, --reg=REG
              Region-specific    search    e.g.    'us-en'    for     US     (default);     visit
              https://duckduckgo.com/params.

       -C, --nocolor
              Disable color output.

       --colors=COLORS
              Set output colors. Refer to the COLORS section below for details.

       -j, --ducky
              Open the first result in a web browser; implies --noprompt. Feeling Ducky?

       -t, --time=SPAN
              Time limit search [d=past day, w=past week, m=past month, y=past year] (default=any
              time).

       -w, --site=SITE
              Search a site using DuckDuckGo.

       -x, --expand
              Expand URLs instead of showing only the domain name (default).

       -p, --proxy=URI
              Tunnel   traffic   through   an    HTTP    proxy.    URI    is    of    the    form
              [http[s]://][user:pwd@]host[:port].  The  proxy  server  must  support HTTP CONNECT
              tunneling and must not block port 443 for the relevant DuckDuckGo hosts. If a proxy
              is  not  explicitly  given, the https_proxy or HTTPS_PROXY environment variable (if
              available) is used instead.

       --unsafe
              Disable safe search.

       --noua Disable user agent. Results are fetched faster.

       --json Output in JSON format; implies --noprompt.

       --gb, --gui-browser
              Open a bang directly in a GUI browser.

       --np, --noprompt
              Perform search and exit; do not prompt for further interactions.

       --rev, --reverse
              List the entries in reversed order.

       --url-handler=UTIL
              Custom script or command-line utility to open urls with.

       --show-browser-logs
              Do not suppress browser output when opening result in  browser;  that  is,  connect
              stdout  and stderr of the browser to ddgr's stdout and stderr instead of /dev/null.
              By default, browser output is suppressed (due to certain graphical browsers spewing
              messages  to console) unless the BROWSER environment variable is a known text-based
              browser: elinks, links, lynx, w3m or www-browser.

       -v, --version
              Show version number and exit.

       -d, --debug
              Enable debugging.

OMNIPROMPT KEYS

       n, p, f
              Fetch the next, previous or first set of search results.

       index  Open the result corresponding to index in browser.

       o [index|range|a ...]
              Open space-separated result indices, numeric ranges  or  all  indices,  if  'a'  is
              specified, in the browser.

       O [index|range|a ...]
              Works  similar to key 'o', but tries to ignore text-based browsers (even if BROWSER
              is set) and open links in a GUI browser.

       d keywords
              Initiate a new DuckDuckGo search for  keywords  with  original  options.  This  key
              should be used to search omniprompt keys (including itself) and indices.

       x      Toggle url expansion.

       c index
              Copy url to clipboard.

       q, ^D, double Enter
              Exit ddgr.

       ?      Show omniprompt help.

       *      Any other string initiates a new search with original options.

COLORS

       ddgr  allows you to customize the color scheme via a six-letter string, reminiscent of BSD
       LSCOLORS. The six letters represent the colors of

       - indices
       - titles
       - URLs
       - metadata/publishing info
       - abstracts
       - prompts

       respectively. The six-letter string is passed in either as the argument  to  the  --colors
       option, or as the value of the environment variable DDGR_COLORS.

       We offer the following colors/styles:

         ┌───────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
         │Letter │ Color/Style                                       │

         └───────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

       The default colors string is oCdgxy, which stands for

       - bright cyan indices
       - bold green titles
       - yellow URLs
       - cyan metadata/publishing info
       - normal abstracts
       - reverse video prompts

       Note that

       - Bright  colors  (implemented  as \x1b[90m - \x1b[97m) may not be available in all color-
         capable terminal emulators;

       - Some terminal emulators draw bold text in bright colors instead;

       - Some terminal emulators only distinguish between bold and bright colors via  a  default-
         off switch.

       Please    consult    the    manual    of    your    terminal    emulator    as   well   as
       https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code for details.

EXAMPLES

       1.  DuckDuckGo hello world:

              ddgr hello world

       2.  I'm Feeling Ducky search:

              ddgr -j lucky ducks

       3.  DuckDuckGo Bang search 'hello world' in Wikipedia:

              ddgr !w hello world
              ddgr \!w hello world // bash-specific, need to escape ! on bash

           Bangs   work    at    the    omniprompt    too.    To    look    up    bangs,    visit
           https://duckduckgo.com/bang?#bangs-list.

       4.  Bang alias to fire from the cmdline, open results in a GUI browser and exit:

              alias bang='ddgr --gb --np'

              bang !w hello world
              bang \!w hello world // bash-specific, need to escape ! on bash

       5.  Website specific search:

              ddgr -w amazon.com digital camera

           Site specific search continues at omniprompt.

       6.  Search for a specific file type:

              ddgr instrumental filetype:mp3

       7.  Fetch results on IPL cricket from India in English:

              ddgr -r in-en IPL cricket

           To find your region parameter token visit https://duckduckgo.com/params.

       8.  Search quoted text:

              ddgr it\'s a \"beautiful world\" in spring

       9.  Show complete urls in search results (instead of only domain name):

              ddgr -x ddgr

       10. Use a custom color scheme, e.g., one warm color scheme designed for Solarized Dark:

              ddgr --colors bjdxxy hello world

              DDGR_COLORS=bjdxxy ddgr hello world

       11. Tunnel  traffic  through  an  HTTPS proxy, e.g., a local Privoxy instance listening on
           port 8118:

              ddgr --proxy localhost:8118 hello world

           By default the environment variable https_proxy (or HTTPS_PROXY) is used, if defined.

       12. Look up n, p, o, O, q, d keywords  or  a  result  index  at  the  omniprompt:  as  the
           omniprompt recognizes these keys or index strings as commands, you need to prefix them
           with d, e.g.,

              d n
              d d keywords
              d 1
