This kind of thing makes me uneasy, and is an example of why I don't enjoy the web platform for applications.
In this case, we have Firefox, which has built-in integration for DDG, as well as lots and lots of capability for querying and processing JSON. And on top of that, we are adding a command that drops to the command line to make a series of command calls to different programs for sending and extracting a search query. All to return 1 URL. It's nuts.
This topic could be a 20-page thesis.
