ddgo - DuckDuckGo CLI Search

The ddgo module provides a powerful terminal-based interface for DuckDuckGo, enabling users to perform web searches, extract results in structured formats, and leverage AI for summarizing answers.

When to Activate

  • When the user wants to perform a privacy-focused web search via CLI.
  • When needing an AI-generated summary of search results for a specific query.
  • When exporting search results to JSON for further processing.
  • When performing site-specific searches (e.g., site:x-cmd.com).

Core Principles & Rules

  • AI Integration: Use the --ai flag to automatically select and summarize the most relevant search result.
  • Data-Friendly: Supports structured JSON output for script integration.
  • Structured Viewing: Use dump --app for an interactive table view of search results.

Patterns & Examples

AI-Summarized Search

# Get an AI summary of search results for 'bash tips'
x ddgo --ai "bash best practices"

Site-Specific Search

# Search for 'jq' content on the x-cmd.com website
x ddgo dump --json "site:x-cmd.com jq"

Top Results

# Retrieve the top 10 search results for a query
x ddgo --top 10 "python threading tutorial"

Checklist

  • Confirm if the user needs a general search or an AI-summarized answer.
  • Verify if the results should be limited to a specific site or number.
  • Check if JSON output is required for subsequent tasks.
