Tip: If you use DuckDuckGo as your default search engine, you'll like "bangs", which are short codes starting with ! that you insert in the search. It'll redirect to search somewhere else instead of DDG.
Right in Safariβs search bar you can add
!a β to search Amazon
!g β to search Google instead just this once
!amaps β to search Apple Maps
!qr β to create a QR Code from the search text
!w β to search Wikipedia
and MANY more. Thousands of possibilities. Try some.
@shayman To add a few of my most used ones:
!aw (yes, Arch Wiki)
!pacman
!aur
!yt (youtube)
@shayman They eased my transition from Google *ages* ago.
At first, when the results were no good, Iβd add g!, and occasionally it was better.
Over the years, my frequency of trying g! fell. Not to zero, but quite a lot.
I canβt remember the last time Google produced a better result. I wonder if it has a bang for @Mojeek though, which sometimes doesβ¦
@shayman Cool! Thanks.
Butβ¦thatβs *really* long. Like, Reeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllyyyy long.
@jorge @shayman Have you looked at #uBlacklist to prevent sites appearing in your search results?
