Title: Duckduckgo search is broken
Author: rodarima
Created: Fri, 08 Dec 2023 20:20:42 +0000
State: closed
When searching a term via the duckduckgo default search option, all the results are broken.
This seems to be happening because the results are a link to a duckduckgo redirection page, with a broken noscript+meta refresh tag inside the body:
Query: https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?kp=-1&q=arch
First link: https://duckduckgo.com/l/?uddg=https%3A%2F%2Farchlinux.org%2F&rut=da8bb6bd1cd584ec22ab762b3b772597b539d583acf75aaab0a45c2b330f4a90
Content:
```
<html>
<head>
<meta name='referrer' content='origin'>
</head>
<body>
<script language='JavaScript'>window.parent.location.replace("https://archlinux.org/");</script>
<noscript><META http-equiv='refresh' content="0;URL=https://archlinux.org/"></noscript>
</body>
</html>
```
The bug section of dillo warns about it:
```
HTML warning: line 1, The required DOCTYPE declaration is missing. Handling as HTML4.
HTML warning: line 1, <head> lacks <title>.
HTML warning: line 1, This <meta> element must be inside the HEAD section. <-- here
```
The easiest solution would be to switch to the full duckduckgo page by default (not the lite version) which seems to work fine.

[Here](https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dillo/-/blob/master/debian/patches/fix-duckduckgo-shortcut-in-dillorc.patch) is another solution adding the `kd=-1` argument which avoids the redirection:
