ddgr

I used to use DuckDuckGo.com but then switched exclusively to the CLI https://github.com/jarun/ddgr. I've been happier and more productive since.

Maybe this will be an alternative interface that suits you: https://github.com/jarun/ddgr There's also these JS-free interfaces: https://html.duckduckgo.com/html https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite

Might be more apt to mention the same authors version of googler for duckduckgo, https://github.com/jarun/ddgr.

there is this: https://github.com/jarun/ddgr I have not tried it yet, but might fill your need.

Listicles have gotten on my nerves, I googled 'how to remove listicles from search results' and got, yes, 2 listicles in the SERP. I tinkered with ddgr[1] and jq for removing listicles with some success, if someone wants to pick up where I left off: `ddgr --expand --noprompt --json 'best bicycles under 500' | jq --raw-output '.[] | select(.title | test("^(?!\\d.$)."))' | jq --raw-output '. | [.title, .url]| @tsv'` [1] https://github.com/jarun/ddgr

I just realized I need this for myself and quickly cooked up a solution using tridactyl, ddgr, and jq that fits perfectly in my workflow. Everything is reduced to just typing `:cp <SEARCH QUERY>` without moving to a new tab or losing flow. The entire function is basically this (requires Tridactyl native messenger). command cp js -p tri.native.run('cd ~ && ddgr --json -n 1 ' +JS_ARG + '| jq -r ".[0].url" | xclip -sel clip') [1] https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl [2] https://github.com/jarun/ddgr [3] https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ PS: I used this tool itself to find the links for the three projects mentioned above.

Also ddgr: https://github.com/jarun/ddgr Same author, no tracking, works over Tor.

For those considering it, just please remember you can still do google searches from DDG, and imho much more smoothly. For example, I don't even know if googles date operator works anymore, and it's too slow for my taste to click the date range I want in google, so if I want google results for the last year I just do !gyear, etc. Once you start remembering the DDG bang operators things get much smoother. Also, one more thing, DDG has a cli client that is pretty awesome if you live in the cli like I do. https://github.com/jarun/ddgr

Instant results are supported: https://github.com/jarun/ddgr There are a number of "instant" bangs, though it's not clear if these deliver what you want: https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=instant You can incorporate bang int commandlinee search, though bangs ("!") generally require quoting to avoid bash / shell interpretation.
