Bangs allow for quick searching of other sites for example

!g NASA will redirect you to the google search of NASA

!tpb search's pirate bay

For the full list

To submit a site to DUcjDuckGo, you need to provide a parameterised search URL that can be submitted (as a GET request I guess)

For google you have :

https://encrypted.google.com/search?q= what+is+hubski

which you would submit to DDG as

https://encrypted.google.com/search?q={{{s}}}

I'm not 100% sure but I think they send a GET request.

Hubski's search is a form that uses POST to https://hubski.com/x

You can't submit that to DDG as far as I know.

Perhaps one of the devs could make an end-point like

hubski.com/search?q={{{s}}}

that translates to a hubski internal POST search?
