--- name: web-search description: 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. It uses duckse (DDGS-based CLI) to return clean results in pretty text or JSON. --- # Web Search (duckse) ## Overview Gunakan `duckse` untuk metasearch web berbasis DDGS. Skill ini mendukung: - `text`, `news`, `images`, `videos`, `books` - filter waktu, region, safe search, backend - output rapi (default) atau JSON (`--json`) - URL final via redirect (`--expand-url`) ## When to Use This Skill Gunakan skill ini saat user meminta: - pencarian web umum - berita terbaru/topik tertentu - pencarian gambar/video - riset cepat dengan sumber URL - fact-checking berbasis hasil web ## Prerequisites Pastikan `duckse` tersedia: ```bash duckse --help ``` Jika belum ada, install: ```bash curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dwirx/duckse/main/scripts/install.sh | bash ``` ## Core Commands ### 1. Basic Web Search ```bash duckse "<query>" ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "python asyncio tutorial" ``` ### 2. Limit Results ```bash duckse "<query>" --max-results <N> ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "machine learning frameworks" --max-results 20 ``` ### 3. Time Filter ```bash duckse "<query>" --timelimit <d|w|m|y> ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "artificial intelligence news" --type news --timelimit w ``` ### 4. News Search ```bash duckse "<query>" --type news ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "climate change" --type news --timelimit w --max-results 15 ``` ### 5. Image Search ```bash duckse "<query>" --type images ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "sunset over mountains" --type images --max-results 20 ``` Filter image: ```bash duckse "landscape photos" --type images --size Large duckse "abstract art" --type images --color Blue duckse "icons" --type images --type-image transparent duckse "wallpapers" --type images --layout Wide ``` ### 6. Video Search ```bash duckse "<query>" --type videos ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "python tutorial" --type videos --max-results 15 ``` Filter video: ```bash duckse "cooking recipes" --type videos --duration short duckse "documentary" --type videos --resolution high ``` ### 7. Books Search ```bash duckse "<query>" --type books --backend annasarchive ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "sea wolf jack london" --type books --max-results 10 ``` ### 8. Region and SafeSearch ```bash duckse "<query>" --region us-en --safesearch moderate ``` Contoh: ```bash duckse "local news" --type news --region us-en --safesearch on ``` ### 9. JSON and Final URL JSON output: ```bash duckse "quantum computing" --json ``` Resolve final URL: ```bash duckse "beritakan di indonesia hari ini" --expand-url --max-results 5 ``` ## Valid Backends by Type - `text`: `bing, brave, duckduckgo, google, grokipedia, mojeek, yandex, yahoo, wikipedia, auto` - `images`: `duckduckgo, auto` - `videos`: `duckduckgo, auto` - `news`: `bing, duckduckgo, yahoo, auto` - `books`: `annasarchive, auto` ## Common Usage Patterns ### Research Topic ```bash duckse "machine learning basics" --max-results 15 duckse "machine learning" --type news --timelimit m --max-results 15 duckse "machine learning tutorial" --type videos --max-results 10 ``` ### Current Events Monitoring ```bash duckse "climate summit" --type news --timelimit d --max-results 20 ``` ### Fact-Checking ```bash duckse "specific claim to verify" --type news --timelimit w --max-results 20 --expand-url ``` ## Quick Reference Command format: ```bash duckse "<query>" [options] ``` Essential options: - `--type` (`text|images|videos|news|books`) - `--max-results` - `--timelimit` (`d|w|m|y`) - `--region` - `--safesearch` (`on|moderate|off`) - `--backend` - `--json` - `--expand-url` - `--proxy`, `--timeout`, `--verify` ## Best Practices 1. Gunakan query spesifik 2. Pakai `--timelimit` untuk informasi terbaru 3. Pakai `--expand-url` jika butuh URL final 4. Gunakan `--json` untuk otomasi/pipeline 5. Sesuaikan `--max-results` (mulai 10-20) ## Troubleshooting - `duckse: command not found` - tambahkan PATH: `export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"` - backend tidak valid - sesuaikan dengan daftar backend per type - hasil kosong - longgarkan query atau hapus filter waktu - timeout/network - ulangi, tambah `--timeout`, atau gunakan `--proxy` ## Development Fallback Jika sedang develop lokal tanpa binary terpasang global: ```bash uv run python main.py "<query>" [opsi yang sama] ```
