Browser extension for searching popular websites directly from address bar
MIT License
Note: This is no longer maintained. But feel free to use it if it works in your browser. I don't maintain it anymore because Vivaldi is now my main browser, where I can have a search bar next to the URL. URL bar has Google as the default search, and the search bar has DDG as the default. So I can now easily access the bangs without using this extension.
A very simple Chrome/Firefox extension that enables a user to search websites directly from the address bar.
It is based on bangs provided by DuckDuckGo and works in a similar way. The two main differences are:
!bang search-term
, whereas Omnibang follows ! bang search-term
.FAQ: Chrome and Firefox already provide custom search engines. What's different here?
Browser custom search works when the website you want to search is already present in your history and cache. Bangs works independent of history and cache.
The keywords of custom search by default are the complete domain names. You can shorten them, but its manual work.
DuckDuckGo provides 100s of predefined short-codes (bangs) which are easy to remember. Some bangs are listed at the bottom of this page.
