DuckDuckGo !bang command and search page
8 years ago

I decided to submit a request for a !bang command to DuckDuckGo (http://ddg.gg, https://duckduckgo.com/bang) since I use DDG as my search engine and am lazy and would like to just be able to type "!speedrun mario" in my browser to get the current Mario runs. However, the AJAX search bar won't do for this.

Is there some non-AJAX search page hidden in the site that I haven't found? To submit a !bang command, DDG needs something it can hit with the standard GET parameter format like http://www.speedrun.com/search?q=FOO.

Just curious. I'm a nerd who likes the tools they use and would like to have excuses to use them more. :)

I use DDG and this would be great.

Disclaimer: no guarantee that this still works and whether the part about chrome works for this site.

In chrome you can hopefully just type speedrun.comTABmario into the address bar after having searched once. you can tab earlier, no need to type it fully. "Speedrun.com" is called the "keyword", it can be changed by going to the settings and searching for "search engines" there. Manual setup (Firefox/chrome): right click into search bar, "add search engine", enter keyword, in this example: sr Now you can type sr mario into the address bar (chrome needs a tab after "sr")
