How to search Google in Dash?

Question

How do you get Dash to search Google results?

Solution

I didn't find one for Google, but there is a Unity lens available for DuckDuckGo (which also is a search engine, with the advantage that it doesn't track you).

To install it type the following commands into your terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:w-vollprecht/ppa 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install duckduckgo-len

For other good lenses you can also have a look here: What lenses for Unity are available?

I vote for reopening, because this question has good, valid answers and the duplicate is a closed question with no answers.

I cast the last vote to reopen this. But I'm removing the 11.10 tag, so its a more general-focus question, rather than version-specific

@qbi This is a old question. What's the point of re-opening it?
