    Make an effort to use bangs and I bet you’ll stay under the limit. Edit: bang searches don’t count towards the limit

    Knowing I wanted a result from a certain site but using the search engine to get there was a (bad) habit I brought over from Google.

    !imdb barbie

    !w mattel

    There’s even custom bangs, which is something DDG doesn’t give you: !libgen some book

        But they don’t allow bangs for sites that do illegal things like copyright infringement. Libgen was my example.

            Custom bangs are private to the user. It’s not dissimilar to saving a bookmark in your browser, except your bookmarks are hosted by someone else.

            It doesn’t have to be about legality either. Maybe you like a service that is being protested by DDG for whatever reason.
