Did that title make sense..?
I have duckduckgo set as my default search engine. privacy is main reason. I am fed to the teeth with resetting googles 'privacy' controls. (Am i a touch paranoid, or do those privacy controls reset themselves every now and then ? )
In addition I also have uBlock Origin installed in Firefox to negate the google beacons which are present in every website
I bring up a search page, either by opening a new tab....or clicking on ctrl alt c (which I have preset as a shortcut to open a search page)
On occasion (many occasions) i prefer the search results which google will offer up instead of duckduck's offering
To have the search routed via duckduck, but completed by google is simply a matter of typing in !g in front of the search term. eg, !g horses will return a google search for horses, but the instigator of the search on googles servers etc will be duckduckgo....not me.
Is there a way that will automatically insert the !g at the start of every search I do ?....so that I can be ultra lazy and not have to type it in every time ? sort of like a keyboard shortcut??....does this make sense ???
I spend my days doing a lot of searching.
