[br][br]Undoubtedly Google and Bing are among the more popular search engines in the world of internet. Along with Google, every other search engine is evolving and implementing new features and techniques to serve at it’s best. In this race, there is one more upstart search engine called DuckDuckGo is making the unique presence. As we all know, every search engine we use tracks us and shows the results based on that. But, DuckDuckGo does not track you and maintains privacy. Not only that, you can do a lot more using DuckDuckGo which is not possible using other search engines. In this article, we will take a look at some of the best DuckDuckGo search tips, tricks & features.[br][br][br]
[br][br]DuckDuckGo Search Tips and Tricks[br][br]As mentioned earlier, I will let you know how to make the best use of DuckDuckGo to get most out of it. You will also get to know what all it can do, which cannot be achieved by Google. If you need to see the larger verion of the images, just click on the image.[br][br]1. Search directly in Sites from Address Bar using !Bangs[br][br]Bangs in DuckDuckGo allows you to search for what you want on the website directly. Let us say, if you want to search for ‘mobiles’ in Amazon, then just type ‘!a mobiles’ in the search box of DuckDuckGo and it would take you to mobiles section on Amazon website.[br][br][br]
[br][br]There are Bangs available for various websites like ‘!yt’ for ‘YouTube’, ‘!w’ for ‘Wikipedia’ and a lot more. This is really one of the best DuckDuckGo search tips and tricks. You can find the entire list of available Bangs. You can also create a bang for your website.[br][br]2. See the Social Media Information directly in the Results[br][br]DuckDuckGo shows the social media information directly in the search results. Let us say, I searched with Twitter handle of TWC as ‘@thewindowsclub’ and hit enter. It would show the profile information and what is it in the search result itself. You are not supposed to click on any link.[br][br][br]
[br][br]This is really done smartly by DuckDuckGo. To find Google Plus and Gravatar profiles, you need to use ‘G+’ and ‘Gravatar’ follows by the username respectively.[br][br]3. Easy to find Cheat sheets[br][br]DuckDuckGo makes it easy for us to find Cheat sheets of the popular app, services, operating systems and more. Just type the word followed by the keyword ‘cheat sheet’ for which you want to find the cheat sheet. Here is the Windows 10 cheat sheet.[br][br][br]
[br][br]It is always better to be specific while looking for cheat sheet, as Windows cheat sheet would differ from Windows 10 cheat sheet.[br][br]4. Shortening URLs is easier with DuckDuckGo[br][br]DuckDuckGo allows you to shorten and expand URLs and we do not need any more services to do so. Just type ‘shorten’ followed by URL in DuckDuckGo and it would give you the shortened URL as the result.[br][br][br]
[br][br]5. Use DuckDuckGo as a Password Generator[br][br]If you are looking for a strong password, then DuckDuckGo makes it easy for you to do so. Just type ‘password’ followed by a number of characters. Let us say, I just typed ‘password 10’ in DuckDuckGo and it has generated my strong password of 10 characters. Why don’t you try?[br][br][br]
