If that's all that's offered, why does DDG's obscure shebangs work on Brave Search?

Oh, apologies for the confusion. We support DDG's shebangs too; the above list is what we add to the list.

No worries. Congrats on the launch.

!g is called a bang.

A shebang is something else ('#!').

Out of that list, the only two bangs that DuckDuckGo doesn’t support are:

- !d (it’s already DuckDuckGo, so !d is “dictionary”)

- !mj (it’s !mojeek)
