An extension to add duckduckgo bangs to google and startpage searches
An extension to add duckduckgo bangs to google searches.
Bangs are quick ways to search plenty of sites. For example if you want to quickly search wikipedia for apples you'd type "!wiki Apples" and it will either automatically open the page if it exists, or searches it.

- (2022-01-24) Alexandre C: I am currently not able to use bangs on startpage. If I open up google.com and then write a bang such as "!wiki test", then it works, just not startpage, or the omnibar with startpage as the default search. I have a suspicion that this is a matter of permissions, since I didn't find "startpage.*" listed in the domains permitted for the extension to read. I unfortunately could not find a way to add a permission myself though, to test the hypothesis. Any chance this could be patched? I really appreciate the extension existing!
