ddgr is a command-line utility that brings DuckDuckGo search directly to your terminal, designed for users who value privacy and efficiency. Unlike web-based searches, ddgr lets you control exactly how many results appear per page, making it far more convenient than browsing through dozens of results at once.

Key capabilities include:

Privacy-first design with Do Not Track enabled by default and no unconfirmed user data collection
DuckDuckGo Bangs support with autocompletion to search within specific sites instantly
Instant answers for quick lookups without opening a browser
Tor network compatibility, giving you an advantage over other CLI search tools
Custom search options including time-based filtering, region-specific results, and safe search control
HTTPS proxy support for additional privacy layers
Text-based browser integration with lynx, elinks, links, and w3m
"I'm Feeling Ducky" feature to open the first result directly
Minimal dependencies and lightweight performance

Whether you're conducting focused research, performing quick lookups, or simply prefer working without distractions in the terminal, ddgr delivers fast, clean results. It works seamlessly on Linux systems, Raspberry Pi, and any environment where you prefer command-line efficiency over graphical interfaces.
