Describe the bug
DuckDuckGo allows the user to specify bangs at either the start or the end of a custom command, as long as the short form is used: !g or g!. It would be nice if we had the same functionality here.

In searx, DDG bangs are implemented as a trie:

Raw idea: it can be an external package, so different projects can use it.
