I search for "San Francisco to Los Angeles" in the url and then I click on the map tab at top left. DDG proxy is good, but it demands me to memorize the shortcuts (the shortcuts list is impressive).
Adding a contextual proxy in the results page would help i.e "Did you mean !m San Francisco to Los Angeles"
- eric-hu 15y agoThat's a really good point. I think it's quite possible this could be leveraged to corner a niche market, though. Think of people who use Unix--they can do tons with it, but there's a ton of commands to memorize compared with what's necessary for Windows. Some people prefer having a more complicated and specialized toolset.
