DuckDuckGo Search via web_fetch

Search the web using DuckDuckGo Lite's HTML interface, parsed via

web_fetch

. No API key or package install required.

How to Search

web_fetch(url="https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=QUERY", extractMode="text", maxChars=8000)

URL-encode the query — use
```
+
```
for spaces
Use
```
extractMode="text"
```
(not markdown) for clean results
Increase
```
maxChars
```
for more results

Region Filtering

Append

&kl=REGION

for regional results:

```
au-en
```
— Australia
```
us-en
```
— United States
```
uk-en
```
— United Kingdom
```
de-de
```
— Germany
```
fr-fr
```
— France

Full list: https://duckduckgo.com/params

Example — Australian search

web_fetch(url="https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=best+coffee+melbourne&kl=au-en", extractMode="text", maxChars=8000)

Reading Results

Results appear as numbered items with title, snippet, and URL. Skip entries marked "Sponsored link" (ads) — organic results follow.

Search-then-Fetch Pattern

Search — query DDG Lite for a list of results
Pick — identify the most relevant URLs
Fetch — use
```
web_fetch
```
on those URLs to read full content

Tips

First 1-2 results may be ads — skip to organic results
For exact phrases, wrap in quotes:
```
q=%22exact+phrase%22
```
Add specific terms to narrow results (site name, year, location)

Limitations

No time/date filtering (DDG Lite doesn't support
```
&df=
```
reliably via fetch)
Text results only — no images or videos
Results sourced from Bing (may differ from Google)
Google search does NOT work via web_fetch (captcha blocked)
