> I end up having to use !g in half my searches.

I googled this, but couldn't find the "!" operator as a google operator. What does "!g" do in search? Or are you trying to say "I end up leaving Google for half my searches" which is not only shorter, but more clear than what you said.

Edit: Ah, that makes more sense, thanks guys. I completely misinterpreted that comment in two different ways.

On DuckDuckGo you can use bangs (!) to do special functions the !g redirects you to a google search. For a full list you can look here https://duckduckgo.com/bang

!g is a bang or whatever they call it. If you put "potato !g" in DDG, it redirects you to google search
