Was wondering what the hell was going on this morning.

    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 !retro to point to RetroPie forum, but it does not work in Searx.

    Edit: It would have been a true banger if we could combine them in Searx like this: !ddg!retro

      That combination works in Brave to search the forum (prefixing !ddg or !d) 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, !retro on its own is enough. Nice!
