On: Show HN: Use DuckDuckGo for !bangs and Google for ...

The idea is to make it your browser's default search since lots of people (the majority?) search from the browser search bar or omnibar.

Edit: you could also add this to Alfred. Alfred supports custom searches ( http://blog.alfredapp.com/2011/04/14/alfred-productivity-tip...) so you can just use http://www.duckduckgoog.com?q=SEARCH as the custom URL and replace SEARCH with the token that Alfred expects

Right, I wasn't trying to rain on the submission.

But you bring up a good point -- DuckDuckGoog is still useful with Alfred since it saves you from having to manually create a bunch of custom searches.
