DuckDuckGo's "lite" search: https://duckduckgo.com/lite?q=

My DDG-from-shell Bash function:

    ddg () 
    { 
        w3m https://duckduckgo.com/lite?q="$*"
    }

Also, you can add

  &kd=-1
to the end of the URL to get direct links in the search results.

For example:

https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=test&kd=-1

I use the html search instead of the lite search. Not sure what the difference is, but it gets past the reload in elinks.

In console browsers, far less screen cruft, and no HTML redirect.

Focus is either on the submission field or gets there on first tab. Search button is focused on next tab, and visible.
