I like to use DuckDuckGo-style bangs and snaps, they are fast and efficient shortcuts. However, neither Kagi nor DuckDuckGo resolves them as quickly as I would like and subjectively Google has better search results than DuckDuckGo. After trying a few local alternatives eg. unduck, unduckified, I wasn't satisfied, the ones I tried briefly loaded a page before redirecting causing visible page flickering, still took time to resolve the actual redirect and lacked advanced features (address-bar autocomplete). Flashbang avoids that by handling the redirect in a Service Worker, before the browser…

I've been working on a little open source [1] search engine, nilch. I noticed that nearly all well known search engines, including the alternative ones, tend to be run by companies of various sizes with the goal to make money, so they either fill your results with ads or charge you money, and I dislike this because search is the backbone of the internet and should not be commercial, so it runs in a not-for-profit style and aims to survive on donations. Additionally I'm personally really sick of AI in my search results so I got rid of that, and I wanted DuckDuckGo bangs so it supports all of…

Hello HN! I made this Firefox extension to extend upon DuckDuckGo's idea of bangs (check https://duckduckgo.com/bangs if you aren't familiar with them) and also allow the use of any search engine with them. I found DuckDuckGo's bangs fascinating, but was disappointed by how little search engines inherit that feature. And on top of it, DuckDuckGo has the "!" bang that jumps to the first search result but other search engines offering bangs like Brave Search, searx, You.com don't seem to have that. I also thought that the "!" bang could be extended with the ability to jump to…

I love DDG !bangs so much, that I kept finding myself in need of custom search !bangs... So I built them! I absolutely love DDG's search !bangs! ... even more than their stance on privacy. If you've ever found yourself wishing for a custom search !bang you're in the same boat as me :) Sure, sometimes submitting a public !bang is the way to go... But not always. Maybe you want to override the default !weather or you want a custom !bang for an internal tool used by your employer. You can create your custom search !bangs at https://interrobang.online
