I think this might be more useful the other way around. Put ddg inside a linux shell and let me interoperate with linux commands. eg. ddg reviews samsung note | grep "note 2"

This was what I was hoping for rather than an ascii terminal style search. Does DDG have an API?

It doesn't search for 'google'. Nothing pops up.

Works fine for me.

DDG does have an API for the goodies, but not for the search results because they come from a variety of sources, some of which don't allow sub-licensing.

For this particular example, why don't you use just ddg reviews samsung "note 2" ?

I love it. I really do. Congratulation and keep up the good work with ddg!
