Does this search functionality work in regions with internet restrictions?

DuckDuckGo access may be unstable in certain regions like China due to network restrictions. In such cases, using a VPN or local search alternatives is recommended.

Does this skill require a paid DuckDuckGo API key?

No, this skill uses the duckduckgo-search Python library to query results directly, meaning no account, API key, or external MCP server is required.

Can I restrict my searches to specific websites like StackOverflow?

Yes, you can use the 'site:' operator in your queries (e.g., 'async await site:developer.mozilla.org') to get results only from specific domains.

What dependencies are needed for this skill to work?

The skill requires the duckduckgo-search library version 5.0.0 or higher, which can be installed via pip.
