What are bangs?

Jump straight to a site or search engine by prefixing or suffixing your query with !bang.

Bangs let you skip the results page and go straight to another site or search engine. Type a bang before or after your query (for example !w privacy or privacy !w ), and Uruky redirects you instead of searching.

Two special forms are always available: !i opens Uruky image search, and a bare ! (or a trailing ! on the query) goes to the first web result ("feeling lucky").

See the full lists: All built-in bangs, All Kagi bangs, All DuckDuckGo bangs.

Built-in bangs

These bangs ship with Uruky and are always enabled:

!e Ecosia
!g Google
!w Wikipedia
!d DuckDuckGo
!yt YouTube

All built-in bangs

Kagi bangs

Optionally enable thousands of community bangs from the Kagi bangs project. Kagi's list was originally based on DuckDuckGo's bangs, so the two catalogs share many of the same triggers and destinations.

Popular examples:

!gh GitHub
!so Stack Overflow
!a Amazon
!r Reddit
!wa Wolfram|Alpha

All Kagi bangs

DuckDuckGo bangs

You can also enable bangs from the DuckDuckGo bang directory. Because of the shared lineage with Kagi's list, many triggers overlap; the examples below are popular DuckDuckGo bangs that are not in the Kagi set.

!tw Twitter
!maps Google Maps
!images DuckDuckGo Images
!v DuckDuckGo Videos
!news DuckDuckGo News

DuckDuckGo also defines !i for images, but on Uruky that trigger is reserved for built-in image search; use !images instead when DuckDuckGo bangs are enabled.

All DuckDuckGo bangs

Precedence and custom bangs

When several sources define the same trigger, Uruky resolves in this order: your custom bangs, then built-in, then Kagi (if enabled), then DuckDuckGo (if enabled). The first match wins.

Open Settings → Search Providers to enable Kagi or DuckDuckGo bangs and to define up to 20 custom bangs (HTTPS URL templates with %s for the query).
