- lutz 14y agoBut Google does that already, without needing to type !maps...
- nonamegiven 14y agoYou get better (short, sane and email-friendly) URLs if you access google searches via DDG bang. !gm = google maps, !g = google search, !gi = google images, etc.
- badgar 14y agoSo we have DDG as a better solution when you're e-mailing links to google searches. That doesn't add up to hours a week.
- pbhjpbhj 14y agoI do the same sort of queries but just use the search keywords feature of Firefox - so that's surely even faster as DDG isn't acting as intermediary to interpret the search request and redirect. That said I think the competition DDG has provided the other search providers has been a benefit to me.
