The killer feature for me with ddg (as a programmer) is the ! searches for documentation:
!php strstr
!python os.makedirs
!pypi requests
!js String
etc.
This gives you a single search bar for all documentation, which is amazing.

- ultrasandwich 13y agoWow I didn't know about this. +100 for DDG.
- PLenz 13y agoThis is ultimately the thing got me to switch the DDG about 2 years ago.
- wila 13y agoThat's absolutely fabulous. I'm a DDG user already, but didn't knew about this trick. A brilliant time saver. Thanks for sharing.
- pielud 13y agoHere are all of the supported ! searches: https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html or just search ddg for !bang
- rjzzleep 13y agoironically !c# brings you to a forbidden place :p
- gkya 13y ago!csharp doesn't, which is even more ironic.
- edraferi 13y agoabsolutely. this is why DDG is the default search on my browser. It's site-specific search for all the sites I actually care about rules into one easy command line interface. It's also replaced the desktop calculator thanks to wolfram alpha integration. seriously, I don't know how I would function without !python, !pypi, !w, !gmap, and !hn
- lmm 13y agoI already have that in my browser. And have since before DDG was launched.
