I've found that you can put the "!g " string anywhere and it'll work - does seem to need a space after it if it's not at the end though. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=thi%21g+ngs&t=hq

Right, but no privacy. Better to go to StartPage.com using the !s or !sp

StartPage delivers actual Google search results without the tracking and without the filter bubble.

Only if I'm signed into Google or allowing it to set cookies right and not spoofing my user agent right? ;)

I don't know if you're still affiliated with StartPage.com but the done thing is to mention that in any posts promoting your company.
