DuckDuckGo Search

[stateisbad]

Hello,

It would be quite nice if there was a DuckDuckGo plugin. The search engine is becoming increasingly popular, and some of the other Python-based IRC bots have DDG plugins that seem to be working pretty nicely. It'd be great to see DDG work with CloudBot, too.

There's a .lmddgtfy which is basically a let me google that for you. https://lmddgtfy.net/ - It provides this link in .help lmddgtfy I'm sure the suggestion is a direct search result, so if it is, great suggestion, otherwise there's already a "way" to search via DDG.

Well DDG doesn't provide an (official) API to get their search results so lmddgtfy is the only "proper" way of showing someone DDG results. Imo a .ddg command (or alternatively .ddgia) should use their Instant Answer API to directly display the answer to the searched question.

Actually a simple DDG API exists at https://api.duckduckgo.com/api, you can query it with https://api.duckduckgo.com/?q=QUERY&format=json

Hi Ravi, unfortunately I think this repository is not actively maintained anymore as the last commit dates to 2018 and there are many open PRs ready to be merged. If you are interested in contributing in open source projects, you will find https://github.com/timofurrer/maya/issues/197 of your interest.
