Thanks wasn't aware of that.

Anyway, I use the Firefox "smart bookmarks" (I don't know if it's the correct name), i.e. naming the bookmark search, so "gg foo" is for searching foo on Google, "dd bar" is for searching bar on DuckDuck, "w baz" is for Wikipedia, "dbts #number" is for the "Debian bug tracking system" and so on...

I have ddg as my default search engine in firefox, so by default my searches go to ddg. If I want to use google instead, I just add "!g" to some part of the search query and ddg will do its magic and do the same search on google. These are called bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bang

Nice, I wasn't aware of this feature. "Smart keywords" is the correct name. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-search-from-address...
