Do you use the bang system in DDG? I think that more than makes up the difference.

If you have to remember to use arbitrary bangs to get specific results then DDG has already failed as a search engine. Coding a query yourself is obviously the most powerful way to search documents, but the key to useful software is to do the hard work for you.

Bangs dont 'get specific results' - they're shortcuts to let you do site-specific 'searches', on that site.

So, if I want to check the versions of haproxy in the various Debian suites, then `!dpkg haproxy` would take me to https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=haproxy.

If I just want general results about HAproxy, that isn't what a bang is for.

I do, but doing !g or !fl seems to defeat the purpose.
