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

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?
