Replace Google's API #32

Closed pizzamaker closed 2 months ago

pizzamaker commented 8 years ago

Google is a known privacy violator and PRISM-contributor. It would be nice to have this search go through DuckDuckGo or (ideally if possible) searx.

Are...are you serious? I mean, I wouldn't mind the option to change search engines, but to replace it is a whole different story.

Duckduckgo, which instead is an NGO saving kids in Africa, doesn't provide a general search API (only some very limited instant-answer api). @pizzamaker if you can write an html scraper for ddg in nodejs I will very happily add it to the codebase. Thanks for the suggestion
