The !bang syntax is definitely one of DDG's best features. Being able to access a few hundred site searches with a keyword is incredibly powerful, and saves time on creating quick searches in Firefox.

- pkamb 15y agoDid it mess any other programmers up, thinking "NOT youtube"? Don't search youtube, search the rest of the web...
- deno 15y agoBeing used to Google, I would first try “-site:youtube.com .”
- slowpoke 15y agoDefinitely agree. I set DDG as Firefox' default search engine (about:config --> keyword.URL) and it has come to the point that searching with the dedicated search bar has begun feeling clunky. I think there are no important sites which I frequent that aren't included in the huge amount of bangs yet. Could just as well get rid of the search bar altogether...
- skrebbel 15y agoI disagree. It belongs in the browser. Also, Opera has had it for years (right-click any form field and choose "Create Search" - no plugins or options screens needed)
