DuckDuckGo is a really great search engine.
The '!g' keyword is really important as a quick way to search with Google when the DDG results are lacking, but for me 3/4 of searches don't need that.
- codeflow2202 5y agoSame here! But when I use the !g I rarely find better results.
- amelius 5y agoToo bad adding "!g" takes 7 touch-interactions on mobile. DDG should really add a "!g"-button to the bottom of their search result page.
- vcavallo 5y agoTwo (plus a space) for me. if you’re on iOS - and I think Android - if you hold the “123” modifier and then _slide_ to the “!” and release, it inputs the character and then switches the keyboard back to alpha. one touch.
- anshorei 5y agothe space isn't required typing "query!g" will refer you through to the google results
- amelius 5y agoYou forgot that you'll have to put the focus back on the search bar. And you have to hit enter. Android: 0. slide back up to the search bar 1. touch the search bar 2. touch "space" (optional, I guess) 3. touch "?123" modifier 4. touch "!" 5. touch "?123" modifier 6. touch "g" 7. touch "enter" or "search"
