- terrestrial 9y agoDoes Bing have "bangs" such as !gm for Google Maps, !gh for GitHub, !wa for WolframAlpha and so on? With no user tracking? I was a heavy user of address bar search prefixes, but it's amazingly convenient to not have to think about it until the very end of a query (or even add it in the middle).
- quadrangle 9y agoThen you'd get bubbled and tracked just like if you use Google, although you'd avoid AMP. DDG uses Bing and other sources, it's not literally just a wrapping of Bing.
- twsted 9y agoThat's not true.
- floatboth 9y agoNot just Bing. They use many sources and I think they do some indexing on their own. IIRC Yandex is one of the sources too.
