Use DuckDuckGo to answer questions
## About
Uses the [DuckDuckGo API](https://duckduckgo.com/api) to provide information.
## Examples
* "when was stephen hawking born"
* "ask the duck about the big bang"
* "tell me more"
* "who is elon musk"
* "continue"
* "tell me more"
### Adding more `infobox` intents
internal `.intent` files can be added to allow parsing infoboxes returned by duckduckgo
first print the target infobox to inspect the returned results
```python
from skill_ovos_ddg import DuckDuckGoSolver
d = DuckDuckGoSolver()
info = d.get_infobox("Stephen Hawking")[0]
print(info)
# {'age at death': '76 years',
# 'born': {'after': 0,
# 'before': 0,
# 'calendarmodel': 'http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q1985727',
# 'precision': 11,
# 'time': '+1942-01-08T00:00:00Z',
# 'timezone': 0},

# 'wikidata aliases': ['Stephen Hawking',

# 'wikidata label': 'Stephen Hawking',
# 'youtube channel': 'UCPyd4mR0p8zHd8Z0HvHc0fw'}
```
under `DuckDuckGoSolver.register_from_file` add your new `xxx.intent` file, where `xxx` needs to be a key present in the infobox, underscores are replaced with whitespaces
then that infobox value will be mapped to that intent file
