# DuckDuckGo Search
A zero-config web search extension using the DuckDuckGo search engine.
No API keys required — works with any Ouroboros configuration.
## Capabilities
- **Agent tool**: `ext_..._duckduckgo_search` — the LLM can call this to search the web
- **HTTP route**: `POST /api/extensions/duckduckgo/search` — JSON body `{"query": "...", "max_results": 5}`
- **Widget**: declarative form on the Widgets page for manual searches
## Dependencies
- Requires the `ddgs` Python package (`pip install ddgs`). The skill
- expects it to be pre-installed in the Python environment.
+ Requires the `ddgs` Python package. Ouroboros installs it automatically
+ from the manifest `dependencies` declaration during review/install.
## Network policy
Connects to DuckDuckGo servers only. No other external hosts are contacted.
