Just coming up on four months, here.
Enter!g in your query to automatically redirect it to Google. I do this for about 50% of my searches (mainly looking for docs)
!yt for youtube is useful too, as is just ! for I'm Feeling Lucky and !wiki,!define.
This is the main reason I began DDG, so useful, faster than using a drop down or looking for the relevant site on Google. Not sure if other search providers do this, but I also appreciate the privacy aspect of using DDG.
- blfr 12y agoIf you're doing that, you may as well define keyword searches in your browser. Which is the ultimate privacy because redirection to the appropriate search engine happens locally. I have g for Google, gl for feeling lucky in Google, w for Wikipedia, imdb, yt, and many more I never use.
- chongli 12y agoI was doing that for a long time in Chrome. Eventually I switched to Firefox and found out that I can't do it on every site and that I often lost all the shortcuts I had created when upgrading browsers or switching machines. Now with DDG I have don't need to worry about it.
- blfr 12y agoI do it on Firefox. It's just a bookmark, so you only need to synchronize bookmarks.
