Can I export the search results to a file?

Yes, you can use the --format markdown option combined with standard shell redirection (>) to save search results directly to a document.

Does this skill require a DuckDuckGo API key?

No, this skill utilizes the DuckDuckGo Instant Answer API, which is free to use and does not require any registration or API keys.

What happens if no results are found?

The tool will notify you if no direct answers were found and provide a DuckDuckGo URL so you can manually view the full search results in a browser.

Does this provide full web page scraping?

No, this skill is designed for 'Instant Answers,' which include definitions, abstracts, and quick facts rather than full-page text extraction or a list of search engine results.
