DuckDuckGo Search

The DuckDuckGo Search component is designed to help you perform web searches using the DuckDuckGo search engine. It allows you to customize your search by specifying the type of content you want to search (text or news), the region, and the time period. You can also limit the number of search results you receive.

Relationship with DuckDuckGo

This component uses the DuckDuckGo search engine to fetch search results based on the parameters you provide. DuckDuckGo is known for its privacy-focused approach, ensuring that your search queries remain confidential.

Inputs

  • Search Query: Enter the text you want to search for.
  • Source: Choose whether you want to search in text or news.
  • Region: Select the region for your search to tailor the results.
  • Time Period: Specify the time frame for the search results.
  • Max Results: Set the maximum number of results you want to receive.

Outputs

The component produces a list of search results, each represented as a data object. These results can be used in your workflow to gather information or insights based on your search query.

Usage Example

Imagine you want to find the latest news articles about “renewable energy” in Europe. You would enter “renewable energy” as your search query, select “news” as the source, choose “Europe” as the region, and set the time period to “last month”. The component will return a list of relevant news articles.
