So til that if you use DuckDuckGo search engine, and you’re not happy with the result and want to run the previous search through Google, instead of copying your search, then heading to Google, then pasting your previous search, you can just add !g to front of your search in DuckDuckGo and that will auto direct you to Google and run that search for you!

For example: !g search term for Google

    Bangs are great.

    My favorites are:

    • !w for Wikipedia
    • !d for a Dictionary
    • !t for a Thesaurus
    • !yt for YouTube
    • !archiveweb for the Internet Archive

    and I’ve found it usually works with pretty much any site name you’re thinking of searching (e.g. if you want to look up a movie on IMDB, chances are !imdb will take you there.)
