Duckduckgo search using fzf. This is a wrapper around the duckduckgo command-line util ddgr which uses the fuzzy search tool, fzf, to select a result and then writes the url of the result to standard output.
Attribution
This tool is effectively a thin wrapper around ddgr and python fzf
Installation
pipx install ddgz
Usage
ddgz hello world
You likely want to use the result, my motivation was to place it on the clipboard while editing documents, for which I use this.
ddgz | xclip -selection clipboard -i
I personally define a snippet (which I call ddcli) for the above using my zsh snippet manager zshnip.
Alternatives and prior work
ddgr can output results to JSON, this can be used for arbitrary purposes.
I tried to find tools to search google. I found googler but this was deprecated and I could not install this with pipx
