Bang Search

ReactTypeScriptTailwindCSS

A Chrome extension that enables a better way to search, inspired by DuckDuckGo's "Bangs".

I use Google Chrome as my default browser, and Google as my default search engine. It became quite time consuming to have to always navigate to the page I wanted to search on, click on the search bar, type in my query, and then click search.

I came across DuckDuckGo, and loved the UX of being able to search a website using bangs. I wanted to have the same experience in Chrome without having to swap browsers or having to navigate to DDG every time I wanted to search something, so I created Bang Search.

Now all I have to do is add a bang to the config once, and never have to worry about navigating directly to the page to search ever again!
