    Duckduckgo also has bangs, which I consider an essential feature.

    Although I use SearXNG instead, since their equivalent is a lot more customisable (although less bangs out of the box).

      Yep. I was using ddg but just spun up 2 sear instances for myself. (One on vpn one off)

      What are your favorite searxng customizations / bangs?

      FWIW you can kinda replicate bangs using Firefox using bookmark “keywords” (I think that’s what they’re called). They basically allow you to create a bang for any site using any trigger characters.

        Yeah, I use those constantly. For web searching, Wikipedia, work ticket lookups, etc.

      Are there any that have a top knot or fauxhawk though? Asking for a friend.
