If you use DuckDuckGo as your standard search engine you can also prepend "!mdn" to your search query to search MDN.

This also works with any website wich supports search I think. Other good ones include "!hoogle", "!hn", "!yt", "!g", and the list goes on.

FYI, if you're already shortening the so-called "bangs", you could use "!h" for Haskell. :)

Worth pointing out: submitting bang ideas is very, very trivial, but the whole process may last months. Last time I've read about someone complaining about a long bang, I've submitted "!gw" as a shorter version of searching Gentoo's Wiki and it became a thing a couple of days ago. This is maybe fifth or sixth bang that I've submitted to them via https://duckduckgo.com/newbang.

This will bring you to a search result page, yes? My ext combines Google's I'm Feeling Lucky to jump straight to the page for the top result, which I find works 99% of the time I'm looking for something on MDN.
