Fedback (see #1) from my use on Firefox 70 on Mac OS Catalina

1. Feedback isn't being sent anywhere (looking at the network requests.)

2. Searching for sum or difference of numbers (eg. 2-1) returns [Object].

3. Typing / or ' invokes the browser's quick find option

4. I can never search for the letter M (or m, or 'm' inside quotes) because it always gives "-- End of search results." instead of the search results.

5. I can never search for a URL (say, http://duckduckgo.com) as a keyword. No results at all.

6. Pressing CTRL-L after typing some text clears the text as well (unlike any other terminal)

7. Pronounce doesn't work at all (audio plays well on Forvo)

Discoveries:

1. Searching for \anything takes you to the first result (on a popup that's blocked by the browser).

2. [Added] A `duck` CLI would be useful.

Re: 6. I found that annoying as well. I use CTRL+L to jump to the address bar, not clear the terminal. MacOS uses CTRL+K to clear it and I'd assume that be the case on linux as well.
Hmm? ctrl-L clears the terminal in iTerm (and in linux terminals too I believe)

Ok looks like CMD-L and CMD-K also clear the terminal in iTerm. But we're talking about "ctrl" here

ddgr perhaps?
