Bangs are shortcuts that quickly take you to search results on other sites.
For more info: https://duckduckgo.com/bang
But instead of relying on duckduckgo, which is proprietary software, adding own custom search engine feature to access website.
For example if anyone would want to search in Wikipedia directly from search bar, add https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/%s in custom search engine, then add appropriate bang search command e.g: !w.
search quire's!w on search bar would direct user to browser.

Hi, appreciate your suggestion! In my experience, bangs are usually put in front of queries, like !w search term instead of search !w as you suggested. Is there any reason that you would prefer the latter?
