_normalize removes apostrophes from search results #37

Closed rmfrt closed 1 year ago

rmfrt commented 1 year ago

In ddg.py, line 54 body = _normalize(row["a"]) removes the apostrophe characters (') which makes the search result less readable (same for "title": _normalize(row["t"]), on line 58). From the examples on the duckduckgo_search GitHub page, this seems to be a problem that did not exist previously. Removing the apostrophe is particularly problematic in French, this character is frequently used, the results are no longer understandable. Thanks!

Thank you for finding this bug. Fixed in version 2.8.1. You can update the package with the command pip install -U duckduckgo_search.
