Alternative you may consider is the brave search. Supports many bangs (?all of what ddg supports). It is independent of other search engines as well. But its picture search is poor.

jherazob@beehaw.org 1 year agoWait, it supports bangs? That’s the #1 thing that keeps me specifically with DDG, once i have some time i’ll have to explore this (probably not earlier than a couple weeks though)

I was used to the bangs in DuckDuckGo too, but stopped using them. In example I have duckduckgo search engine disabled here, but can still do a ddg only search with
!ddg hello. But don’t get your hopes too high, because I think it only supports the few bangs and nothing else. It does not support ddg bangs. I registered a DuckDuckGo bang!retroto point to RetroPie forum, but it does not work in Searx.Bitrot@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
That combination works in Brave to search the forum, I’m surprised it doesn’t in Searx.

I’ve just tested this in Brave and it works. And it does not require the combination,
!retroon its own is enough. Nice!
