What search engine(s) besides DuckDuck have !bangs?
-
SearXNG does, I think...any others? Looking around for other engines that aren't US-based, though I guess DDG is still considered acceptable for LibreWolf's default engine. Bangs are incredibly useful!

I started to try and use kagi a few weeks ago. It has bangs.

Kagi (paid) advertises a huge list of bangs with the option to customise them yourself.

Is that one a paid service? Have heard good things about it but never tried.

Yes it’s paid, but the quality is worlds above Bing, DDG, or Google. The best description I can make is that it’s what Google Search was about 15 years ago, back when there were no AI results, no ads, no artificially promoted results, and you could vote on results and block domains from appearing in your searches. Back when Google Search was actually good.

I'm currently using Startpage, which is dutch

Is it 100 a month? I thought it was 100 total, no specified time frame. It's intended as a trial period not a free tier.

I can find valid results with Kagi 90% of the time compared to about 40% with Google.
There are some things I was been looking for using Google for several years without success that turn up as the top result on Kagi.It just works.

It says here it's 100 total: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/plans/plan-types.htm
The Trial plan is limited to 100 total searches. This plan is suited for those interested in exploring Kagi and curious about paid search engines.

Subscription search seems at odds with privacy.

I've seen so many people talking about it that I tried the free trial. It has been giving good enough results. My reference is usually duck dck go since that's what I've used for years, and I only fall back to google when really need to expand my search, but google has been so useless about almost everything that anything else is a win.
I'm not sure if I'll pay or keep using or not, but for now I activated it as the default on my browsers and devices to get a feeling.
I like the idea of a proper business where the business model is clear and where they are making their money. They even have changelogs with their updates and it seems they keep improving things focused on the user, which is nice.

Kagi is giving out money to Yandex, which is Russian.

They came out with this feature recently that makes any sort of tracking technically impossible:

I also use them, and have liked the results.

Searxng uses bangs but you have to double them up (i.e. !!aur btop or !!ddg search).

I love how your first example was AUR.
I use arch BTW.
