What I like the most about DDG is the bangs. Is there any other search engine with something similar?
Qwant has it: https://help.qwant.com/help/qwant-search/searching/how-use-qwick/
Ecosia as well: https://ecosia.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201657321-What-are-search-tags-
Thank you! Ecosia seems to have only very few and most of those I don’t need. Qwant seems to have a lot more, but is still missing those I use most often with DDG, for example Python library documentation like !numpy or !mpl.
Regarding Qwant, you can suggest them to add it, there’s a link to a form on the page.
Short update: I switched to Qwant. Great website! Thank you very much!
Cool. There’s also lite.qwant.com if you’re out and about on your phone and low on data, or just want a faster experience. You’re welcome.
Neat, thanks! :)
Cool, I’ll do that and play a bit around with Qwant. Maybe, I change defaults then. :)
also DuckDuckgo has the best IU imo, better than any other search engine I’ve used.
Check out metager.org
metaGer looks cool, but does it really support something similar to DDG’s bangs? I don’t find anything about that.
I like the ddg bangs too but I’m weaning myself off them, instead using keywords in Firefox. It’s really easy: just right-click (ctrl-click on Mac?) on a search field then select “Add keyword for this search”.
Especially since they started removing (censoring…?) bangs for the likes of Sci-Hub and torrent sites, and since I got thinking that perhaps they don’t need to know a history of all my searches on all the websites.

The thing is that I use that bangs not only on my laptop but also on my phone with KISS launcher.
