Very cool and reminds me of Apple iOS 9's push toward a . It doesn't look like DuckDuckGo added Product Hunt yet but a while ago they integrated PH search results into the feed itself. Here are the :

thanks! If you or anyone else have ideas for how to improve the instant answer, please let me know. We'll get on adding the !producthunt bang.

!ph & !producthunt works now!

Niiiiiice. Way to keep the PH crew happy. 👍
it redirects me to product hunt, but not with the search I entered.

there is a bug on safari on some versions of OSX, and I think it is on the PH side.
Nice one! Would be really helpful also to search in multiple sources at once, like !facebook !twitter !linkedin within the interface, without being redirected to the sources

thanks for the feedback!

Still my favorite DDG feature! Think i've recommended a ProductHunt bang in the past, but they never implemented it 😥

Love it a lot! As it seems like a 'side product' how do you foresee it will grow (how much of your team's effort goes towards this project)? And how has the response been from the companies / sites you're linking to — if any?

it's actually been around near the beginning of DuckDuckGo, I'm not sure when exactly but probably sometime in early 2009. It's remained largely a hidden feature though until very recently when we started letting people know about it on the SERP and redesigned this dedicated introductory page. In short, people love it on all sides (users, sites, us).
looks great I agree though that it looks like a side product
Great stuff. Wondering how much this can help DDG grow; it sure attracts my attention :).
Love DDG. Also, great community @
This is brilliant innovation. When you set DDG as your default search engine, you can use "!a candle wicks" in your URL bar to jump directly to the amazon search results. Bypass DDG and the "search" page entirely.
This is really nice! I like sites and apps that helps you get all information from one place. Kind of like and
I think this may be the feature that could sway me from Google, and as said, reminiscent of Apple's ideas for search too.
I'm a regular DDG user and really digging Bang! Just added as a Bang!
Great feature. It'd be great if the auto-completion is integrated with Chrome url bar and with Alfred too!
