securitybreach Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Since the archwiki is useful for most distros, I figured you all might find this handy: Quote !aw bang on DuckDuckGo I thought people here might be interested in the !aw bang, allowing you to quickly search your favourite site the Arch Wiki and make your endeavours even more efficient! Enjoy! !aw = Arch Linux Wiki search !archpackages = Arch Linux Package search !aur = Arch User Repository search More about bangs here More about DuckDuckGo here. It's a superb search engine and solid Google alternative. https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/hemwhv/aw_bang_on_duckduckgo/ For instance, !aw Firefox brings you https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox 2 Quote

Cluttermagnet Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Kewl- I learned something new just now. Yes, duckduckgo is pretty good. I should start using it more often. The lazy way is to go on using goober indirectly through startpage.com, supposedly anonymizing searches. Two problems- I can see the effects of censorship in search results (or mainly lack thereof). Also heard rumors that startpage.com got bought by a somewhat more (potentially) evil company than the one that started it. FWIW... Clutter Quote
securitybreach Posted June 24, 2020 Author Posted June 24, 2020 I've been using DDG for years now and it works great. Quote
Cluttermagnet Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) Well, I should definitely use it more. I've liked pretty much all that I have experienced with it... Hey, it sometimes finds some pretty different stuff that goober never picks up on... Not to mention goober's notorious and nefarious censorship! They (goober) have turned into little dictator prix...
