Hi,

I have a bash shell script to loop through a list of terms, perform ddgr and write the output to a json file. For every second term I'm receiving the error: invalid width -5 (must be > 0)

Any advice would be appreciated! Cheers

This problem might be with my python installation, but python seems to break so easily that, even if the problem is with my installation, others might have the same problem.

The problem is as follows.

~ $ ddgr test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ddgr", line 25, in <module>
    import requests
ImportError: No module named 'requests'

sudo -H pip install requests worked but did not prevent the above error message. Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3 x64

EDIT: here are some relevant details of my system.

~ $ which python
/usr/bin/python
~ $ python
Python 2.7.12 (default, Nov 20 2017, 18:23:56) 
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2

Also: compiling from the git source did not solve the problem.

FURTHER EDIT:

$ python3 ddgr test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ddgr", line 25, in <module>
    import requests
ImportError: No module named 'requests'

when I do ddgr hello world, then type Cntrl-q at the prompt, ddgr dies with a seg fault

It would be sort of nice if Cntrl-q also meant quit. I have a bit of a crazed personal mission of making Cntrl-q mean "get rid of the current thing" across all my software. Of course it sort of works as it is so maybe I shouldn't be reporting this issue :)

If the search is too long, the UI gets bugged up in various ways. This is apparent, when you are crammed and lack space. The underlying logic works, it's just the displaying of the text of the search that is bugged.

from terminal, do a very long search. It does the search, with the arrows, get the previous search, then if you try to move the cursor to the beginning, you can't go all the way.

In the UI, if you type too much, it comes back and overwrights the same line. If you try backspace the line is no longer visible or in part. Again, can't move the cursor all the way to the start.

I think the solution, is to simply support multiple lines in the UI. The bugs is just the one line overflowing and doing unexpected stuff. (probably the same issue in googler, didn't test that)

Here's a provisional implementation of subpagination for ddgr.

Pagination is set by using the -n (or --num) option which takes an integer N to paginate the results by. For example: ddgr python -n 5 will paginate by 5 results at a time.

If the number of fetched results left to display is less than the pagination value, new results from the next Ddg results page are fetched and appended to the list of results already returned. Use of the p command in the omniprompt will show the previous N results, where N is the pagination value.

If the f command is used in the omni prompt, the index is reset to 0 so that the first set of results are displayed.

Please let me know if this is in line with what you are thinking/what changes should be made.

When I try to use a text based browser (w3m or lynx) I receive the following error [ERROR] register() takes from 2 to 3 positional arguments but 4 were given. It does work with gui based browsers though.

I tried this on both normal bash/terminal and on zsh and got the same results.

ddgr (? for help) 1
[ERROR] register() takes from 2 to 3 positional arguments but 4 were given

Thanks for your hard work, and if there's anything I can do to help resolve this issue, let me know.

I know that ddgr tries to be dependency-free on Python side of things, but I haven't found a better cross-platform solution than pyperclip.

If you know how to implement this without dependencies, please share!

Any idea to implement this feature? Looking at the source code of the Next button (https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=asd) it may seem trivial to build a URL for the next and previous pages:

<form action="/html/" method="post">
          <input type="submit" class='btn btn--alt' value="Next" />
          <input type="hidden" name="q" value="asd" />
          <input type="hidden" name="s" value="30" />
          <input type="hidden" name="nextParams" value="Keywords=asd&amp;xargs=12KPjg1pZSrp68i%2D%5FoMPCRErjGnQNVmZ615JIuTcQ%5FQZAD6A5dYdR%5FePqBypItDrUtu0KJk6nQo%5FpPIfD7ucu6&amp;hData=12KPjg1qdOxJy7tuqnF9W2TOSj8m4%2E" />
          <input type="hidden" name="v" value="l" />
          <input type="hidden" name="o" value="json" />
          <input type="hidden" name="dc" value="31" />
          <input type="hidden" name="api" value="/d.js"/>
          <input name="kl" value="us-en" type="hidden" />
</form>

But https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q=sample&s=30&dc=31 just shows a website with the following message:

If this error persists, please let us know: [email protected]

DuckDuckGo supports placing search bangs anywhere in the search string. I always commonly place it after the thing I'm searching for. That doesn't work with ddgr.

In the absence of sufficient vertical space to display all results, the user is forced to scroll up to read the first result but the prompt disappears. Instead, it would be nice if it was always visible (therefore in a fixed position).

To this, I would add that it would be nice if in the same situation, the user is faced with the upper part of the results (1, 2, 3, ...) and not the lower part (10, 9, 8, ...).
