Keyboard doesn't open on FF Android, so I can't use it (right now) either, but it seems to be a faux shell & TUI for searching DDG.

(I see green on black terminal aesthetic, $ prompt and a flashing cursor - banner text (in the 'shell') above explains I can (if the keyboard would open) run :help (or :send-feedback to tell them the keyboard doesn't w-- oh) which I assume would tell me how to query the search engine.)

Yeah, presumably JS if you can't load it. Though from what I can see without typing anything it could be done in CSS. (I suppose it's probably a SPA - results loaded in place without a page reload which, to be fair, would ruin the faux shell aesthetic.)

Thanks for taking the time to explain what you see. This sort of confirms my initial suspicion. Weird.
