Instead of sticking with just one search engine, it nudges you to choose the most appropriate one for each query.
- Search bangs redirect the search to a specific search engine
- For example: `!ddg search term` or `search term !ddg` searches for `search term` using DuckDuckGo
- As a bonus, the input is more ergonomic for mobile and/or multiline input.
- Insert `!` via double-space
- Auto-growing multi-line input with fullscreen mode; RETURN is a newline, by default.
- (SHIFT-RETURN, or "double-keypress RETURN" submits form.)
- Auto-complete bang triggers with "double-keypress" of QQ, WW, EE, etc
Is it just until something (any single character) is typed into the search input box?
edit: the purple color was just the "visited" link color. The link color changes because the links are updated to include the query (thus changing the visited status.)
- Simultaneously opens multiple search engines in their own tabs
- Useful for comparing results, especially for translation and shopping/price search sites
- Very original version was just for image search: https://is.leftium.com/
