Hacker News Reader

This will just replace one of the current searches whereas I want to add one. But I figured it out - in the searchplugins directory in the firefox install are a bunch of xml files. I added a new one with the relevant info and now "duck" is the keyword that maps to a duck duck go search.

For the information of anyone else looking to do this, you can do it in the GUI:

Add it to the search bar

In the search bar dropdown, click "Manage search engines"

Select DDG and set a keyword. I use "d".

Then, search using e.g. "d Hacker News"

People using vimperator can access the dialog with

  :dialog searchangines
