[Bug] Duckduckgo not working

[fogine]

I updated rofi-blocks aur package.
I see that googler github project is archived and its latest version is broken... so I'll need to remove the support for it. For google search you will need to setup google API keys..

How do you execute rofi-search exatly?

First simplest method is to

• Execute it just by command rofi-serach it will search for googler executable and if not found it will try to find ddgr executable in your path.. if both executables are not found it will write message to stderr like

To make rofi-search work with default configuration, please install either ddgr - https://github.com/jarun/ddgr or googler - https://github.com/jarun/googler

• The second method is explained in the readme in Usage Examples section and involves setting env variables and executing rofi search by providing rofi-search executable directly to the rofi..

Okay thank you, installing rofi-blocks works now fine.
I started rofi-search in the command line without the environment variable:

Can not find "googler" executable.
BlocksMode-Message: 11:50:15.438: Child 160750 exited abnormally

Googler is not installed and ddgr is installed. It seems like it doesn't search for ddgr

[fogine]

Hm, thats weird, something is off here, it definitely searchers for ddgr HERE
I just checked, installed ddgr from aur and it works..
Do you have latest rofi versin? Mine is v 1.7.3

[fogine]

It seams like you have ROFI_SEARCH env variable set to googler in which case it would fail as you described...

[jonas-w]

Yes I have the latest rofi version mine is also 1.7.3.
I installed rofi-search via aur and ddgr via aur.

Here a gif to show you what happens:

[jonas-w]

Okay if no environment variable is set it automatically sets it to googlr with the default config:

rofi-search/rofi-search

Line 33 in 76c7c6f

return runRofiSearchWithDeafultConfig();

[fogine]

If you set ROFI_SEARCH variable, you need to execute it like this:

export DDG_ARGS='["-n", 3]'
export ROFI_SEARCH='ddgr'

rofi -modi blocks -blocks-wrap /absolute/path/to/rofi-search -show blocks \ 
-lines 4 -eh 4 -kb-custom-1 'Control+y' -theme /path/to/your/theme.rasi

rofi-search command works only with default configuration (which in your case does not work for some unknown reason..).

EDIT: you can get default theme for rofi-search here: https://gist.github.com/fogine/b79bfdbf48ec70c698c977c13043b816

[jonas-w]

Theme is a bit weird. When starting with googler and rofi-search it looks normal.
But if i search something with your command the highlighted text i searched nearly has the same color as the background color and the text seems to be invisible

[fogine]

yeah, I'll need to update the default theme, with recent rofi version its broken a little bit..
