DuckDuckGo: Bang VS Mojeek

Check out https://duckduckgo.com/bangs you can dump into pretty much any site, Wikipedia, YouTube, Spotify, Google Translate from the DDG search bar if you have a few favorite bangs memorized. You can put the ! anywhere in the query for it to be picked up as well. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

Seriously, I'm surprised at how many devs haven't seen DuckDuckGo's bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bangs I use them all the time for work. !mdn for MDN, !dnab for .NET, !npm for NPM, !py3 for Python3 docs, !debman for Debian Manpages, !w for Wikipedia, !a for Amazon, !g for Google when you really need it. I'm not affiliated with DDG; I just really, really love it. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

I think everyone in the thread knows about "search engines" in Chrome and bookmark keywords in Firefox. The crux of the issue is that there are more than 10,000 bang commands in DDG.

Search engines. Search engines have a massive hand when it comes to centralising. Both Google and Bing prioritise centralised services no matter how irrelevant their pages are. Just try an independent engine like https://mojeek.com and see for yourself how vastly different the surfing experience is. It's like you're back to the time when the internet was accessible and not centralised to a few Big Tech apps and... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

DuckDuckGo is really good when it comes to privacy, but just as bad as google with showing information. Even though it doesn't tell you most of the top results on DuckDuckGo are ads, they paid to be the top results. It also tends to filter out non politically correct information.

Google is notorious for manipulatively tailoring search results. If you want to search controversial subjects try out something like mojeek.com or presearch.org and you'll likely get dramatically different results. These also respect privacy. Source: about 1 year ago

Now I use yandex.com isn't only literal but unbiased (also you can go directly to the image in the highest resolution that the site has indexed; as Google was in the past). I tested mojeek.com sadly they don't allow " or dorks. Source: over 1 year ago
