Not sure if you're a DDG user, but have you seen their ! shortcuts?
For example, you can type stuff like "!newegg laptop" into the search menu (or even easier, the address bar, if you have their browser plugin) and you can search newegg directly. I think the one I end up using the most (at work) is "!java8 something" to search javadoc
Not crazy on the innovation scale (as many browsers let you do keyword searches), but definitely awesome, because there's a huge range of keywords already available
- n0us 11y agoI'm an occasional user, I've heard of the domains specific searchs but I was not aware of the ability to do the !java8 thing, that might be really convenient.
- hardwaresofton 11y agoYeah I use it as a browser plugin so I type that right in the address bar. There are lots of other useful ones (like !hn) Also, if you currently use google, it's only a short "!g" away (and it uses google encrypted search, for what that's worth) -- I am a tiny bit ashamed at how much I use !g :)
