On: 4 Weeks with DuckDuckGo

One of my favorite things about DDG is the bang, and my absolute favorite bang (when I use one) is !g. Because the URL for the resulting page is just the search, without all the cruft.

  !g googol
  https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=googol

  direct via google:
  http://www.google.com/#hl=en&gs_nf=1&cp=6&gs_id=36&xhr=t&q=googol&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&oq=googol&aq=0&aqi=h1g-s1g2g-s1&aql=&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=aa8b317ec80710f&biw=1036&bih=663

Whenever I want to send a google search to someone, I do it via DDG. Although I usually send DDG searches, to help promote DDG.

This appears to be a direct ripoff of open shortcuts from yahoo search.

Good thing they didn't patent it, so others can use it.

Just configure a keyword for your browser, you also get a clean url.
