That's what bookmark is for. `Google' is not easy to type either, at least compared to `bing'.

I put DuckDuckGo at position 3 of Safari's bookmark bar (position 1 being bookmarklet from instapaper and position 2 being bookmarklet for my posterious blog). Then I could just press command-3, and type `!w Al Franken' or `!w faithful place' or `!python tempfile'. Pretty sweet IMHO.

I think google is actually easier (or as easy) to type compared to bing. Look at the position of your fingers as you type it.. the repetition of G/O and the close proximity of L/E respectively makes it a easy to type without looking at the keyboard.

That 'b' is a fucker if you are a left handed touch-typist. I never fully got into the habit of consistently using the right index finger.
