DuckDuckGo has a handy feature called "bangs," where you can turn anything you type into your browser's address bar into a search of a specific site just by tacking on a special code associated with that site starting with an exclamation mark. This saves you a lot of clicking around.

You just have to be careful to use the right bang code. !mw, for instance, will pipe your search through the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which is useful all the time. But if your finger slips and you type !me, your search will be piped through the Mass Effect fan wiki

Yep! I laid off DDG when it used the AI-word, but I still use the bangs. Indispensible.

@jalefkowit to be fair, I would probably use both the same amount.
@jalefkowit Custom search engines are also a thing in *fox (and just as prone to the same braino/typo failure mode ;_;)
@combs @jalefkowit Yep I use this in Firefox so I can just type, for example 'wk Fraser Metzger' and it will look up those words on Wikipedia. I can get over my skis though, I had one search set up so typing 'tom $KEYWORD' would search my dad's Flickr photo tags for a thing. But! it also meant I couldn't search for anyone named Tom from the address bar. 

How long did it take you to realize, and what was the most surreal redefinition?

@triz @jalefkowit Oh hey it's the human pet guy
@triz how is it every new thing i learn about cybersmith is funnier than the last thing i learned about cybersmith
@jalefkowit that exact scenario happens to me all the time 😂 I do love the bangs feature though.
@jalefkowit i struggle to imagine the search result that wouldn't be better from the mass effect wiki
