DuckDuckBang!

A Firefox addon that allows you to use !bangs in Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Ecosia.

This add-on is in maintenance mode as I have switched to using DuckDuckGo.

What does it do?

This addon redirects any search you do (Google search, Yahoo! search, Ecosia, and Bing) that begins with ! or \ to DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo then processes these as bangs (!) and I'm feeling Ducky (\) submissions.

How do I use it?

Example search terms:

  • !w eggs - Goes to the Wikipedia page of eggs.
  • !ddg 1 + 1 - Searches DuckDuckGo for 1 + 1.
  • \firefox - Takes you to the first search result with the word 'Firefox' in it.

How do I install it?

  • If you use Firefox: Just click here to install the WebExtension.

  • If you use Pale Moon: Click here and select the version you want to download. Older versions of this extension download duckduckbang.js from the WebExtension repository every time a web search page loads. Note that this extension is outdated and untested.

  • If you do not use any of the above: Install a user script manager, then click here to install the user script wrapper. You can view the source for this user script here. Note that this user script downloads code from this repository.
