DuckDuckGoSearch Component Overview
The DuckDuckGoSearch component enables your AI workflow to perform real-time web searches using the DuckDuckGo search engine. It accepts a user-defined search query and returns relevant web results, including URLs and their content, making it a powerful tool for knowledge retrieval, research tasks, or augmenting LLMs with up-to-date information from the internet.
