    I want to introduce !bang tags in Duckcuckgo search engine.
    If You know other tips and tricks please add it to this Topic.


    a common way to search sites in search engines is to type site address followed by search word.

    Example: site:audioz.eu Cubase


    DuckDuckGo Search engine enables you to search directly on 100s of other sites with, "!bang" commands.

    !bangs are shortcuts that start with an exclamation point like, !wikipedia and !espn. Use them to quickly search other sites from the DuckDuckGo search box.

    For example, you can type in a command like '!Audioz Cubase', which will take you to Audioz.eu and auto-search it for 'Cubase'.

    !bangs work for 100s of sites and you can even add or fix broken !bangs by submitting them here

    Most big sites work, e.g. !youtube (see full list below)
    Most generic keywords work too, e.g. !images
    There are also shorter versions, e.g. !g (google) !i (images) !yt (youtube)
    !ducky or '! ' or '\' will take you to the first result.
    !safeoff will run a search with safe search off.

    Here's the full list of !bang commands by category:

    Informations about DuckDuckGo for Users who haven't heard about.

    Pennsylvania-based DuckDuckGo is a search engine established by entrepreneur Gabriel Weinberg in 2008.
    The name came from “Duck Duck Goose,” a traditional children’s game.

    DuckDuckGo breaks away from other search engines, as it claims to provide more instant answers, less spam and clutter, and a better privacy policy. Its features, among others, include:

    • Search results gathered from crowd-sourced sites, such as Wikipedia, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha, and DuckDuckBot (its own web crawler), in order to pad its “zero-click info” boxes with topic summaries and related topics.
    • Filtering search results to show mostly shopping and info sites. Weinberg also deleted results from sites with lots of advertising and those he touts as “content mills”—sites with content specially targeted to rank high in Google’s index (e.g. eHow).
    • A privacy policy that does not store IP addresses, does not log user information, and only uses cookies when necessary.
    • Anonymous and encrypted searching through Tor.
