Search the Duden German dictionary for words.

Searches the Duden online dictionary like its search results page: the matching dictionary entries (Wörterbuch), each with the headword, its word class (e.g. Substantiv, feminin) and the link to the entry. Entries are read from the results page only; the articles themselves are not read. Returns an empty list when nothing matches.

Checks

a run passes when

length(output.entries) > `0`

length(output.entries[?title != `null`]) == length(output.entries)
