Description

Get-DuckDuckGoSearch mirrors the Google helper but directs the query to DuckDuckGo. Whatever you pass through $args is added to the query string and opened in your default browser, making privacy-first searches only a command away.

Usage examples

Get-DuckDuckGoSearch PowerShell remoting
Get-DuckDuckGoSearch "windows terminal profiles"

The function takes advantage of DuckDuckGo’s rich search syntax, so bangs and modifiers work as expected.

Script

function Get-DuckDuckGoSearch {
    Start-Process "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=$args"
}
