DuckDuckGo is a search engine I (/who/astynax) use daily on all my devices. Even if I need to "google" something I prefer to use the !g bang (see below) than Google itself.

Bangs

The DDG's bangs is just a "killer feature" for me. I feel more comfortable to remember some bangs (a dozen at least) than to set up many custom "searches" in all browsers I have. Here are some examples I found useful:

  • !gi - Google Image search
  • !wen - search over English Wikipedia
  • !gh - search over GitHub
  • !hackage - search over /Haskell packages
  • !python - search over /Python docs
  • !pypi - search over Python packages
  • !define - search for word's definitions

Why

Just because it faster (the search page is pretty lightweight) and more private.
