Uncaught Error Error: Failed to get the VQD for query "node.js". #131

The response.body of getVQD() method is empty, resulting in an exception thrown by exports.VQD_REGEX.exec(response.body)[1]: Uncaught TypeError TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading '1'). How can this issue be resolved?

Same issue. I can't seem to be able to search for anything at all.

I couldn't reproduce the issue, it still works fine. if it doesn't work for some people, probably try providing the response whenever you request https://duckduckgo.com/?q=node.js&ia=web.

Suprisingly, I find that npm:duckduckgo-search@1.0.5 works well and steadily if you are using javascript. Before that I've tried "@langchain/community/tools/duckduckgo_search", npm:duck-duck-scrapeandnpm:duckduckgo-search@1.0.7, which all failed.
