I really like Duckduckgo. In particular, I like what they call the bangs.
But I wanted:
-
To have the choice. It's never a good thing to be stuck with a product because there's a non-core feature that you like. And since the bang mechanisms has nothing to do with a search engine in particular, why not separate them?
-
To be able to customize my bangs. Because customization is cool.
-
To have something really lightweight and fast. This is not much but it can matter for some people.
Anyway. Installation is easy:
- Copy this project somewhere in your web path;
- In directory
cfg/
, copy one of the example config files asbang-bang.ini
; - In this
cfg/bang-bang.ini
file, edit the[site]
section; - You should be good to go.
