I use DDG as my default search. The !bang syntax is awesome.

This is a neat new add-on from mozilla called collusion: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/2012/02/28/...

I need to go back and give DDG another try. I think i gave up on it too quickly

You can also do this in google chrome. For example, I have it set up so if i type r [space] askreddit it takes me to that subreddit. If I want to search youtube or amazon I type y [space] cats and it searches youtube for cats. You can edit them however you want and works for almost every site.

Ah, nice! Thanks for the tip.

Indeed. I do that too. But it seems that by using the !bang syntax, your search becomes encrypted (whatever that means).
