I make great use of DuckDuckGo's bang feature, with which you can change your search target by typing <search term> !<bang code>
, where bang code
is any of the defined codes. For example, I saw a map just now of a place called 'Erdalen' and didn't know where it was, so I pressed ctrl-L
to enter Firefox's address/search bar, and typed !osm erdalen
and it took me straight to this place south of Bergen in Norway.
Other bangs that I use a lot along with !osm
are !w
for Wikipedia, !wd
for Wikidata, and !r
for Reddit.
