📄 Description

I've just found this project and immediately fell in love with it!
I'm a long-time duckduckgo user and would love to use the famous 13.000+ !bang operators (if you don't know them, look them up - they're awesome!). While there is the "I'm feeling lucky"-bang already (#35), all the other operators are still missing.
I've created this pull request as a kind of proof of concept and it's definitely not mergeable yet. It uses hardcoded operators and the functions are scattered around in the code (I'm not that comfortable with the codebase, yet). The best-case-scenario for me (personally) would be the ability to use all of the ddg !bang operators, and I'm sure that many others would love this, too.

Basically, this is a general discussion whether this feature should get implemented and how exactly this could be accomplished without having a giant list of operators in the source-code.

Thanks for considering the implementation of this feature.
