Wikipedia -> !w
Youtube -> !you
reddit user -> !reu
subreddit -> !reddits
also !reddit points to new version, I'd want !redditold
Twitter -> !tweet
Steam -> !steme (???)
Twitch -> !ttv
That being said, if you're on DDG, there's pretty good auto complete on bangs so you can find it by typing the name and looking at the favicons.
- chrisparsons 6y agoThere are multiple aliases. For instance, I use !yt for YouTube (just checked and !youtube also works), and !twitch for Twitch. I'll agree with the parent in that it's very rare that I'm unable to guess the bang that I want.
- joshmanders 6y agoYup, throwing my hat into this ring of agreement. I used to have tons of special search engines in Chrome to do this, often aliased as name or something, and I switched to DDG and started using their Bang's just to realize that most of my custom search engines were obsolete and like 2-3 needed to be retrained in my head.
- ufo 6y agoIn many of these the full name is also a valid bang. For example: !wikipedia !youtube !twitter !steam !twitch.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoAs others mentioned, many sites have multiple bangs. Twitter for example, my guess would be "!tw" and it is correct. Also, if you want to know one of the bangs, "!bang twitter" lists all if the ones involving Twitter.
- Cactus2018 6y ago> also !reddit points to new version, I'd want !redditold old.reddit.com !oldred old reddit !ored Subreddit (Old Style) !ors Old Reddit (subreddit) !osr
- column 6y agoI use !yt for YouTube.
- gulbrandr 6y agoAlso you can use !wfr, !wit, !wde for the French, Italian or German version of Wikipedia. The same goes for Amazon: !a, !afr, !ade, and so on...
