How to use googler on Debian? results are always "no results"
by keithostertag from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5SBTK)
I'm using Debian 10 (buster). I used my apt package manager to install the program "googler", but when I run it I never get any results. So I am wondering if I have some type of setup problem with my system?
I am not seeing anything in the manpages to indicate what I might be doing wrong. I've tried several of the examples in the manpage with the same "no results".
I should add that I get the same results when attempting to run ddgr.

No results.From the man page:

DESCRIPTION

and text context for each result. Results are fetched in pages. Next or previous page navigation is possible using keyboard shortcuts. Results are indexed and a result URL can be opened in a browser using the index number. There is no configuration file as aliases serve the same purpose for this utility.
