A metasearch library that aggregates results from diverse web search services
DDGS (Dux Distributed Global Search) is a Python metasearch library that queries multiple search backends simultaneously and returns aggregated results across text, images, videos, news, books, and raw URL content extraction. For text searches, supported backends include Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Google, Startpage, Yandex, Yahoo, and Wikipedia, selectable individually or via an "auto" mode. The library connects to Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients through a stdio MCP server, exposing six tools: `search_text`, `search_images`, `search_news`, `search_videos`, `search_books`, and `extract_content`. Installation splits into three optional tiers: base library, a FastAPI-based REST API server with Swagger and ReDoc documentation served on port 4479, and the MCP server. Proxy support using http, https, or socks5 protocols is available across all modes. Developers building Claude integrations, researchers needing multi-engine search coverage, and self-hosters who want a local REST search gateway are the primary beneficiaries.
