It's cool, but I've not seen it helping much so far, since the base results suck ridding them of some of the crap don't improve them noticeably.

They're nice features when they display information I want. They generally don't.
> Another useful hashbang I use a lot is !a which searches amazon directly.
No. Just no. Firefox has been able to do that since 0.9 if not earlier, I'm sure other web browsers can handle that as well. I have no need whatsoever for the indirection through DDG. Here's how I search amazon: focus address bar, type "a somethingsomething", return.
You say what you want, I say what I did.
