Routr: Fast local replacement for DuckDuckGo bangs
> Typing `article about german war in the stone age !!g` becomes: `site:en.wikipedia.org "german" AND "war" AND "stone age"`
I wonder how much of that could be done without AI, just (locally) using https://www.npmjs.com/package/compromise

Also I couldn't find your source for bang data; Kagi maintains an updated list: https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs
I'm working on an enhanced version of bangs. Since there are so many "dead" bangs, I'm thinking of using a bang whitelist and suggestions from the full list if not found in the whitelist.

Why pay for a search engine
Apart from search customizations, I also use the bang searches (a few mine and many from https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs). I also recently switched to ultimate and created a few assistants with system prompts for my various needs (coding, learning chemistry, etc.)

Kagi Snaps
This _is_ the `site` operator, but with a much easier way of enabling them (`@r query` vs `query site:reddit.com`), reusing the domains of Kagi's bangs[1]

How I Made Google's "Web" View My Default Search
Kagi allows you to define custom bangs: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/bangs.html#custom-bangs
And you can open an issue/pull request here: https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs
(Kagi's search bang redirects work even if you don't have a Kagi account.)
Kagi probably has the most updated search bangs, even though DuckDuckGo created them.
