I've started using Duckduckgo, less specifically for the search and more for the bangs. Fed up of search surfacing sites they care about. I can now quickly search wikipedia with !w etc.
I host my own searx instance and use that to search, it supports all of DDG's bangs by default if you begin a query with a double bang !!
Not advocating for Google here, but you can do that with "site: wikipedia.org" as a search operator in Google.
DDG's bangs actually use the site's own search feature though, rather than narrowing the search engine's results to a given site.
And, less typing. That's a plus for me.
Yeah but that's slower and not using the sites specific search
desire to know more intensifies
Bangs are awesome, and so are the Vim keybinds
