# DuckDuckBang!

A Firefox addon that allows you to use !bangs in Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and Ecosia.

**This add-on is in maintenance mode as I have switched to using DuckDuckGo.**

## What does it do?

This addon redirects any search you do (Google search, Yahoo! search, Ecosia, and Bing) that begins with `!` or `\` to DuckDuckGo. DuckDuckGo then processes these as bangs (`!`) and I'm feeling Ducky (`\`) submissions.

## How do I use it?

Example search terms:

- `!w eggs` - Goes to the Wikipedia page of eggs.

- `!ddg 1 + 1` - Searches DuckDuckGo for `1 + 1`.

- `\firefox` - Takes you to the first search result with the word 'Firefox' in it.

## How do I install it?

 - If you use Firefox:

 Just click [here](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckbang1/) to install the WebExtension.

 - If you use Pale Moon:

 Click [here](https://github.com/luk3yx/duckduckbang-palemoon/releases) and select the version you want to download. Older versions of this extension download `duckduckbang.js` from the [WebExtension repository](https://github.com/luk3yx/duckduckbang) every time a web search page loads.

 *Note that this extension is outdated and untested.*

 - If you do not use any of the above:

 Install a user script manager, then click [here](https://gist.github.com/luk3yx/a8a3fa2d5a02ca9d55cfa3210d7a9ae1/raw/duckduckbang.user.js) to install the user script wrapper. You can view the source for this user script [here](https://gist.github.com/luk3yx/a8a3fa2d5a02ca9d55cfa3210d7a9ae1).

 *Note that this user script downloads code from this repository.*
