This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I use DDG just because they have !bangs and it saves me so much time.
!yt searches YouTube !imdb searches IMDb
And so on.
I just have that in my browser. If I type
y search termI get a YouTube Search page for "search term".The downside is that you MUST type "y " first in that case, whereas the bangs can be placed anywhere, and don't even require a preceeding space when putting it last
If bangs are used for positive searching how do I search for things without the name. I thought !youtube filters out YouTube.
-YouTube.com should filter it out. !yt actually takes you to YouTube and then searches the keyword(s).
The mighty minus! Apparently I forgot about that. Ty yt!
you can do this with most other search engines i think by prefixing your search with the domain name or name of the website
no, bangs take you to the website and searches it in there
