TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct content type (text, news, images) with clear descriptions, so there is no ambiguity about which to use for a given search need.
All tools follow the same ddgs_<type>_search pattern, making the naming predictable and consistent across the set.
Three tools exactly cover the core search capabilities (web, news, images) for a DuckDuckGo server without unnecessary bloat or gaps.
The server covers the primary search types, though video or shopping search are absent; these are minor gaps for a typical search toolkit.
