I just DDG and have found !bang shortcuts that are broken or 404 for weeks. I've tried reporting the problems on their feedback forms or Reddit, but never got any responses. If it was open source, I could have submitted a pull request to fix them. I'm surprised they don't have automatic heartbeat queries with expected results for every bang shortcut, at least.

I had the same issue with them back when I was a user. If you find any broken !bangs at Jive Search feel free to submit a pull request.

  Is there a way to go straight to the first result using Jive Search? With DuckDuckGo searching for "example !" does this. (This is the main reason I don't use Searx.)

    I've opened up an issue: https://github.com/jivesearch/jivesearch/issues/83 https://github.com/jivesearch/jivesearch/issues/83 I didn't see the "!" documented anywhere but it seems to work at DDG. (We'll also add "\example" to do the same). https://duck.co/help/results/syntax https://duck.co/help/results/syntax

    Just got done adding it. Let me know if there are any issues.
