ddgr is a command-line search tool that lets users perform DuckDuckGo web searches directly from their terminal, providing a privacy-focused alternative to browser-based searches without tracking or personalized profiling. It fetches search results via DuckDuckGo’s API or HTML output and presents links, snippets, and metadata in a clean terminal format, making it useful for programmers, sysadmins, and privacy advocates who prefer keyboard-driven workflows. The tool also supports options like opening a selected result in a web browser, piping results into other tools, and restricting searches to specific formats such as text-only or JSON for further processing. Because it avoids third-party tracking and ads built into many browser search experiences, ddgr appeals to users seeking greater control over data and a faster, distraction-free search flow.
