quick-bangs

A suckless bang implementation with custom bang support.

Configuration

All configuration occurs in index.html directly.

• Default Search Engine: If no bangs are specified, this engine is used.
• Quicker Bangs: A series of key-value pairs (bang->search_engine) defining custom bangs. These are also fetched before the massive Kagi bang list, so commonly used bangs can be placed here for (slightly) faster resolution.
