Saving Results to File\n\nSave search results to a file:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"<query>\" --output <file-path>\n```\n\n**Example:**\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"artificial intelligence\" --output ai_results.txt\npython scripts/search.py \"AI news\" --type news --format markdown --output ai_news.md\npython scripts/search.py \"AI research\" --format json --output ai_data.json\n```\n\nThe file format is determined by the `--format` flag, not the file extension.\n\n## Output Format Examples\n\n### Text Format\n```\n1. Page Title Here\n   URL: https://example.com/page\n   Brief description of the page content...\n\n2. Another Result\n   URL: https://example.com/another\n   Another description...\n```\n\n### Markdown Format\n```markdown\n## 1. Page Title Here\n\n**URL:** https://example.com/page\n\nBrief description of the page content...\n\n## 2. Another Result\n\n**URL:** https://example.com/another\n\nAnother description...\n```\n\n### JSON Format\n```json\n[\n  {\n    \"title\": \"Page Title Here\",\n    \"href\": \"https://example.com/page\",\n    \"body\": \"Brief description of the page content...\"\n  },\n  {\n    \"title\": \"Another Result\",\n    \"href\": \"https://example.com/another\",\n    \"body\": \"Another description...\"\n  }\n]\n```\n\n## Common Usage Patterns\n\n### Research on a Topic\n\nGather comprehensive information about a subject:\n\n```bash\n# Get overview from web\npython scripts/search.py \"machine learning basics\" --max-results 15 --output ml_web.txt\n\n# Get recent news\npython scripts/search.py \"machine learning\" --type news --time-range m --output ml_news.txt\n\n# Find tutorial videos\npython scripts/search.py \"machine learning tutorial\" --type videos --max-results 10 --output ml_videos.txt\n```\n\n### Current Events Monitoring\n\nTrack news on specific topics:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"climate summit\" --type news --time-range d --format markdown --output daily_climate_news.md\n```\n\n### Finding Visual Resources\n\nSearch for images with specific criteria:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"data visualization examples\" --type images --image-type photo --image-size Large --max-results 25 --output viz_images.txt\n```\n\n### Fact-Checking\n\nVerify information with recent sources:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"specific claim to verify\" --time-range w --max-results 20\n```\n\n### Academic Research\n\nFind resources on scholarly topics:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"quantum entanglement research\" --time-range y --max-results 30 --output quantum_research.txt\n```\n\n### Market Research\n\nGather information about products or companies:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"electric vehicle market 2025\" --max-results 20 --format markdown --output ev_market.md\npython scripts/search.py \"EV news\" --type news --time-range m --output ev_news.txt\n```\n\n## Implementation Approach\n\nWhen users request web searches:\n\n1. **Identify search intent**:\n   - What type of content (web, news, images, videos)?\n   - How recent should results be?\n   - How many results are needed?\n   - Any filtering requirements?\n\n2. **Configure search parameters**:\n   - Choose appropriate search type (`--type`)\n   - Set time range if currency matters (`--time-range`)\n   - Adjust result count (`--max-results`)\n   - Apply filters (image size, video duration, etc.)\n\n3. **Select output format**:\n   - Text for quick reading\n   - Markdown for documentation\n   - JSON for further processing\n\n4. **Execute search**:\n   - Run the search command\n   - Save to file if results need to be preserved\n   - Print to stdout for immediate review\n\n5. **Process results**:\n   - Read saved files if needed\n   - Extract URLs or specific information\n   - Combine results from multiple searches\n\n## Quick Reference\n\n**Command structure:**\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"<query>\" [options]\n```\n\n**Essential options:**\n- `-t, --type` - Search type (web, news, images, videos)\n- `-n, --max-results` - Maximum results (default: 10)\n- `--time-range` - Time filter (d, w, m, y)\n- `-r, --region` - Region code (e.g., us-en, uk-en)\n- `--safe-search` - Safe search level (on, moderate, off)\n- `-f, --format` - Output format (text, markdown, json)\n- `-o, --output` - Save to file\n\n**Image-specific options:**\n- `--image-size` - Size filter (Small, Medium, Large, Wallpaper)\n- `--image-color` - Color filter\n- `--image-type` - Type filter (photo, clipart, gif, transparent, line)\n- `--image-layout` - Layout filter (Square, Tall, Wide)\n\n**Video-specific options:**\n- `--video-duration` - Duration filter (short, medium, long)\n- `--video-resolution` - Resolution filter (high, standard)\n\n**Get full help:**\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py --help\n```\n\n## Best Practices\n\n1. **Be specific** - Use clear, specific search queries for better results\n2. **Use time filters** - Apply `--time-range` for current information\n3. **Adjust result count** - Start with 10-20 results, increase if needed\n4. **Save important searches** - Use `--output` to preserve results\n5. **Choose appropriate type** - Use news search for current events, web for general info\n6. **Use JSON for automation** - JSON format is easiest to parse programmatically\n7. **Respect usage** - Don't hammer the API with rapid repeated searches\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n**Common issues:**\n\n- **\"Missing required dependency\"**: Run `pip install duckduckgo-search`\n- **No results found**: Try broader search terms or remove time filters\n- **Timeout errors**: The search service may be temporarily unavailable; retry after a moment\n- **Rate limiting**: Space out searches if making many requests\n- **Unexpected results**: DuckDuckGo's results may differ from Google; try refining the query\n\n**Limitations:**\n\n- Results quality depends on DuckDuckGo's index and algorithms\n- No advanced search operators (unlike Google's site:, filetype:, etc.)\n- Image and video searches may have fewer results than web search\n- No control over result ranking or relevance scoring\n- Some specialized searches may work better on dedicated search engines\n\n## Advanced Use Cases\n\n### Combining Multiple Searches\n\nGather comprehensive information by combining search types:\n\n```bash\n# Web overview\npython scripts/search.py \"topic\" --max-results 15 --output topic_web.txt\n\n# Recent news\npython scripts/search.py \"topic\" --type news --time-range w --output topic_news.txt\n\n# Images\npython scripts/search.py \"topic\" --type images --max-results 20 --output topic_images.txt\n```\n\n### Programmatic Processing\n\nUse JSON output for automated processing:\n\n```bash\npython scripts/search.py \"research topic\" --format json --output results.json\n# Then process with another script\npython analyze_results.py results.json\n```\n\n### Building a Knowledge Base\n\nCreate searchable documentation from web results:\n\n```bash\n# Search multiple related topics\npython scripts/search.py \"topic1\" --format markdown --output kb/topic1.md\npython scripts/search.py \"topic2\" --format markdown --output kb/topic2.md\npython scripts/search.py \"topic3\" --format markdown --output kb/topic3.md\n```\n\n## Resources\n\n### scripts/search.py\n\nThe main search tool implementing DuckDuckGo search functionality. Key features:\n\n- **Multiple search types** - Web, news, images, and videos\n- **Flexible filtering** - Time range, region, safe search, and type-specific filters\n- **Multiple output formats** - Text, Markdown, and JSON\n- **File output** - Save results for later processing\n- **Clean formatting** - Human-readable output with all essential information\n- **Error handling** - Graceful handling of network errors and empty results\n\nThe script can be executed directly and includes comprehensive command-line help via `--help`.\n\nFile v1.0.0:_meta.json\n\n{\n  \"ownerId\": \"kn7cz85m29bj398zc6mnggkv19805nzz\",\n  \"slug\": \"web-search\",\n  \"version\": \"1.0.0\",\n  \"publishedAt\": 1769673454302\n}","readmeExcerpt":"Skill: Web Search Owner: billyutw Summary: This skill should be used when users need to search the web for information, find current content, look up news articles, search for images, or find videos.
