Alternate search engines #22

Please consider adding support for search engines other than google, for the benefit of people who may have permanent / temporary / occasional issues with always using the big G for everything. I'm thinking duckduckgo, but others may have other opinions.

I understand your concern but I don't want to support things that I don't use. Last time Google updated their css class and broke all other howdoi alike apps I think I was the first guy among all those app maintainers who was able to provide a prompt update accordingly. It was because I use this package everyday and notice the problem right away.

SO recently got sold so I am expecting more breaking changes will come.

Would you accept a PR if I could manage the job?

PRs are welcome but please understand that these days I am very slow to respond.

I'm looking for an example of a ddg search with curl including multiple sites (eg site:foo.com site:bar.com). So far it's been impossible to me.
