Using duckduckgo API is not viable #11

Open Dyex719 opened 6 years ago

Dyex719 commented 6 years ago

One of the ideas to improve this repo is to use the duckduckgo api for getting the search results. However, as mentioned on their webpage, as per their company policy they don't return all the search results in their API. They only offer an instant results API. This is why I don't think this approach is viable.
