Update: We do support !rust as well (and all of DDG's other bangs). Brave Search supports many shebangs, but I don't believe we've added support for `!rust` yet (we do have `!mdn` and `!so` though). I'll submit a request to add a `!rust` option too!

"Shebangs" have been defined as '#!' for decades, I'd suggest they not be redefined.

  Shebang specifically refers to using an exclamation point to define where data should be directed. Same as it is in Bash scripts, just a different context and slightly different syntax.

    The "she" is specifically a phonetic clipping of the "#", otherwise it's just a bang - but oh well, even jargon doesn't mean shit anymore.

      DDG generally calls them "bangs": https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang

      Note the (Unix) part of the Wikipedia URL. This is an entirely different context.

        So in which context does "shebang" refer to a ! without a # ? I can't find any definition like that online.

    Here I had assumed it was a Ricky Martin reference.

Very cool - good to know.

You don't seem to support the !ddg, and !duckduckgo bangs. See https://search.brave.com/search?q=!ddg+test https://search.brave.com/search?q=!ddg+test nor do you support bangs in the middle of queries such as https://search.brave.com/search?q=example+!rust+example https://search.brave.com/search?q=example+!rust+example
