You can actually do this yourself if you set your search engine to DuckDuckGo and prepend your search with a backslash (\, e.g. "\bats" or "\tom hanks imdb" in your case -- works great). I discovered this by accident; it's very useful.
- npilk 5y agoNice! I had discovered that adding a '!' does this on DDG, but didn't know about the backslash - cool tip. I will say that it's nice to be able to add the exclamation point at the end, instead of putting it at the start like the backslash. That way, you can decide after you type your query whether you want to go directly to the first link or see the full results.
