ddgr is a Python command-line utility for searching DuckDuckGo from the terminal, with configurable results per page, instant answers, DuckDuckGo Bangs support, and Tor compatibility. It is a privacy-aware, standalone tool designed for fast, readable search output in minimal terminal space.

Use cases

  • search duckduckgo from the terminal
  • get a custom number of search results per page in the console
  • use duckduckgo bangs from the command line
  • search the web anonymously over tor
  • open search results in a text-based browser
  • avoid google tracking while searching from cli

When to choose

  • you want privacy-focused DuckDuckGo searches without leaving the terminal
  • you need Tor support for your searches
  • you prefer compact, customizable result counts instead of 30 results per page
  • you want a googler-like tool for DuckDuckGo

When to avoid

  • you need Google or Bing search results specifically
  • you want a GUI or browser-based search experience
  • you need an official DuckDuckGo product with API guarantees
