## 实用脚本
### 通用搜索函数
创建一个可复用的搜索脚本:
```bash
python -c "
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
import json
def web_search(query, search_type='text', max_results=5, region='wt-wt', timelimit=None):
'''
执行 DuckDuckGo 搜索
参数:
query: 搜索关键词
search_type: 搜索类型 (text, news, images, videos)
max_results: 最大结果数
region: 地区 (cn-zh, us-en, wt-wt)
timelimit: 时间限制 (d, w, m, y)
'''
with DDGS() as ddgs:
if search_type == 'text':
results = list(ddgs.text(query, region=region, timelimit=timelimit, max_results=max_results))
elif search_type == 'news':
results = list(ddgs.news(query, region=region, timelimit=timelimit, max_results=max_results))
elif search_type == 'images':
results = list(ddgs.images(query, region=region, max_results=max_results))
elif search_type == 'videos':
results = list(ddgs.videos(query, region=region, timelimit=timelimit, max_results=max_results))
else:
results = []
return results
# 使用示例
query = 'Python 3.12 new features'
results = web_search(query, search_type='text', max_results=5)
print(f'🔍 搜索: {query}')
print(f'📊 找到 {len(results)} 个结果')
print()
for i, r in enumerate(results, 1):
print(f\"{i}. {r['title']}\")
print(f\" {r['href']}\")
print(f\" {r['body'][:150]}...\")
print()
"
```
### 搜索并保存结果
```bash
python -c "
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
import json
from datetime import datetime
query = 'latest tech news'
output_file = f'search_results_{datetime.now().strftime(\"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S\")}.json'
with DDGS() as ddgs:
results = list(ddgs.text(query, max_results=10))
# 保存到 JSON 文件
with open(output_file, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
json.dump({
'query': query,
'timestamp': datetime.now().isoformat(),
'results': results
}, f, ensure_ascii=False, indent=2)
print(f'✅ 搜索结果已保存到: {output_file}')
print(f'📊 共 {len(results)} 条结果')
"
```
### 多关键词批量搜索
```bash
python -c "
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
import time
queries = [
'Python best practices 2024',
'React vs Vue 2024',
'AI development tools'
]
all_results = {}
with DDGS() as ddgs:
for query in queries:
print(f'🔍 搜索: {query}')
results = list(ddgs.text(query, max_results=3))
all_results[query] = results
print(f' 找到 {len(results)} 个结果')
time.sleep(1) # 避免请求过快
print()
print('=' * 50)
print('📊 搜索汇总')
print('=' * 50)
for query, results in all_results.items():
print(f'\n🔎 {query}:')
for i, r in enumerate(results, 1):
print(f\" {i}. {r['title'][:60]}...\")
"
```
