    yup, every engine that supports !bangs gets my attention immediately.

      I should probably know what this does but I’m thinking I don’t. Could somebody explain?

        They’re ways to search on a specific site from the engine’s search bar. For instance, !gsch cows will search for cows on google scholar from DuckDuckGo. I don’t know how stamdardized bangs are across engines, but they’re super useful if you use a bunch of obscure search tools on the day to day.
