Web search without an API key using DuckDuckGo Lite via web_fetch. Use as a fallback when web_search fails with missing_brave_api_key error, or whenever you need to search the web and no search API is configured. Provides titles, URLs, and snippets for research queries. Zero dependencies — works with just the built-in web_fetch tool.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# 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 1. **Search** — query DDG Lite for a list of results 2. **Pick** — identify the most relevant URLs 3. **Fetch** — use `web_fetch` on those URLs to read full content ## Tips …

How to install
mdr add pr-e/openclaw-master-skills/ddg-search@sha256:e682629ecedd2a79The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260311.3e83cee, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
