But when I select something in ddgr, it says it's opened lynx but the display still just shows a list of 10 results. If I hit q, it drops me back to ddgr, and then a quit again exits the program.

Works fine for me. Steps right out of the terminal: 1. sudo apt install lynx 2. export BROWSER=lynx 3. ddgr hello world 4. Press 1 (to open the first result in lynx) The site is opened in lynx as expected.

Can you search by any duration, like googler can, or does duckduckgo prevent you from implementing that? That's my biggest complaint about ddg: can't even search by past year

I see a dropdown on a search results page that says "Any Time". On clicking it, you get the options "Past Day", "Past Week", "Past Month".
