**Issue:** : https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/22961
**Description:**
Previously, the documentation for `DuckDuckGoSearchResults` said that it
returns a JSON string, however the code returns a regular string that
can't be parsed as is.
for example running
```python
from langchain_community.tools import DuckDuckGoSearchResults
# Create a DuckDuckGo search instance
search = DuckDuckGoSearchResults()
# Invoke the search
result = search.invoke("Obama")
# Print the result
print(result)
# Print the type of the result
print("Result Type:", type(result))
```
will return
```

After the change in this PR, `DuckDuckGoSearchResults` takes an
additional `output_format = "list" | "json" | "string"` ("string" =
current behavior, default). For example, invoking
`DuckDuckGoSearchResults(output_format="list")` return a list of
dictionaries in the format
```
[{'snippet': '...', 'title': '...', 'link': '...'}, ...]
```
e.g.
```

Trump's victory the next year, defeating Obama's secretary of ...", 'title': "Obama's fears about Trump drive his stepped-up campaigning", 'link': 'https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/18/obama-trump-anxiety-harris-campaign/'}, {'snippet': 'Harris will hold a campaign event with former President Barack Obama in Georgia next Thursday, the first time the pair has campaigned side by side, a senior campaign official said.

There were PR errors on
`langchain_experimental/prompt_injection_identifier/hugging_face_identifier.py`
But, I didn't touch this file in this PR! Can it be some cache problems?
