xES - !x Engine Selector

!xES is an open-source alternative to DuckDuckGo !bangs which significantly outperforms its redirect latency by caching ≈ 8.42 KiB of JS in your browser.

If you've been living under a rock, !bangs are shortcuts to other search engines. For example, you can quickly search wikipedia with !wiki Hutter Prize; Google with !g do a barrell role; YouTube with Zed Kaido !yt music.

Visit xes.zedkaido.com/bangs.js for the full list of bangs.

If you are happy with the pre-defined bangs, you can set the default search engine in your browsers to:

WARNING: I may update/remove the current bangs at any time.

That being said, I personally recommend forking github.com/zedkaido/xes, editing /bangs.js to your liking and serving it within your walls of comfort.

export const bangs = {
	"g": {
		name: "Google Search",
		url: "https://www.google.com/search?q={{{s}}}"
	},
	"l": {
		name: "Google Search (Link)",
		url: "http://www.google.com/search?as_lq={{{s}}}&hl=en&btnG=Search"
	},
	"b": {
		name: "Brave Search",
		url: "https://search.brave.com/?q={{{s}}}"
	},
