  DuckDuckGo has a 'bang' feature, where you add a bang like '!g' to search a different site directly. For example, '!g hacker news' becomes 'https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hacker%20news' https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hacker%20news'.

    Sorry, I understand that part. Was wondering what you meant by this (specifically the part about a "filtered down view of the world"): "I find this better even just for the fact that I don't get the filtered down view of the world anymore - if there are things named similarly than the ones I use in the world, I want to know, so I can adjust my own naming." It wasn't a loaded question or anything, not sure why I got down-voted either... (shrug)

      Google gives you a "filter bubble", essentially exacerbating confirmation bias. That way if you search "what's wrong with Python" it won't return "snakes can hurt you". Take a look at http://dontbubble.us http://dontbubble.us
