Show HN: Bang Bookmarks – replicate DuckDuckGo bangs in Firefox using Keymarks
I do! I missed the "web command-line" functionality so much I made a self-hosted replacement for it that can be run from a local file[0].
If you add it as your default search provider you can use it directly from the address bar, and at that point it works very similarly to DDG bang syntax (although it does a few other things apart from bookmarks as well).

Welcome to mwmbl, the free, open-source and non-profit search engine
> We now have a distributed crawler that runs on our volunteers' machines! If you have Firefox you can help out by installing our extension.
This is a very interesting idea that other search engines have tried before. Actually, the Brave search engine is built over Cliqz[6] that implemented this same idea but *without* the user's consent.
Copy pasting from an old comment I made about this "human web" crawler idea:
Both PeARS[1] and Cliqz[2] tried to do that. Both got direct support from Mozilla[3][4] but it looks like neither really kicked off.
PeARS was meant to be installed voluntarily by users who would then choose to share their indexes only to those they personally trusted, so the idea is very privacy conscious but also very hard to scale.
Cliqz, on the other hand, apparently tried to work around that issue by having their add-on bundled by default in some Firefox installations[5] which was obviously very controversial because of its privacy and user consent implications.
I still think the idea has potential, though, even if it's in a more limited scope.
