That was the feature that let me switch everything over to DDG. DDG works great for 80-85% of my search queries. For the others, I just prefix with "!g" because I suspect Google will give me better results.

I've recently learned that it does not have to be a prefix. If you put !g anywhere in the query as its own word, DDG will do the thing.
