Ddg

**Quick judgement** A solid, mature CLI wrapper around DuckDuckGo that is well-suited for terminal and agent-driven web search, especially when privacy and JSON output are desired. It’s focused and does one thing well: text-based web search with good filtering and bang support. **Notable strengths** - Good fit for agents that need on-demand web search with parseable JSON output. - Privacy-friendly defaults (no tracking, DNT, Tor/proxy support). - Supports filters by time, region, site, and number of results, plus DuckDuckGo bangs. **Key risks / limitations** - Depends on external network access and DuckDuckGo availability; failures outside the tool’s control. - Search results are untrusted web content and must not be treated as verified facts. - Safe-search can be disabled (`--unsafe`); agents using it should avoid or tightly control that option in sensitive settings. - Snap-based invocation (`snap run ddgr`) may limit compatibility on non-Ubuntu or non-snap environments unless adapted. **Recommended scenarios** - When an OpenClaw workflow needs quick, text-only web search or documentation lookup. - When privacy is a concern and DuckDuckGo is preferred over other engines. - For tools/agents that will post-process search results programmatically via JSON. - As a general-purpose, low-friction web search tool inside terminal-centric environments.
