I disagree. It belongs in the browser.

Also, Opera has had it for years (right-click any form field and choose "Create Search" - no plugins or options screens needed)

Definitely agree. I set DDG as Firefox' default search engine (about:config --> keyword.URL) and it has come to the point that searching with the dedicated search bar has begun feeling clunky.

Did it mess any other programmers up, thinking "NOT youtube"? Don't search youtube, search the rest of the web...

Being used to Google, I would first try “-site:youtube.com .”
