Instant results are supported:

There are a number of "instant" bangs, though it's not clear if these deliver what you want: https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=instant

You can incorporate bang int commandlinee search, though bangs ("!") generally require quoting to avoid bash / shell interpretation.

Ah cool, thanks. Very useful!

I meant more like the various cheatsheets.

(Ex: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vim+cheat+sheet)

That query would pull up search results, but not the cheat sheet itself. Or if I do "roll 3 dice" I get unicode dice, but not the numerical sum like on the web version.

Anyways, this is really a minor gripe - this is a really cool tool and I appreciate the time you've put into it.

I can see myself using it a lot in the future! :)
