I would like to create an alias with the function to perform a DuckDuckGo search with W3M via the Command Line Interface (CLI).

I have already created the alias and the DuckDuckGo search engine is called. However, I would also like to enter a search keyword after the alias in the CLI and I do not know how to do that.
Example:

alias duckit="w3m https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/"

When I enter the command duckit in the CLI, this alias calls the DuckDuckGo search engine and opens the web page.
But I want the alias to also enter the search keyword in DuckDuckGo and show me the results.

So I tried adding ?q= at the end of the alias above:

alias duckit="w3m https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q="

However, running it as follows does not work:

duckit test

What do I need to do?
