There is a very easy workflow remedy for this, if DDG is your default search engine: type "!py [topic]"

For example, I tried searching for "python lists" in my address bar (DDG is my default) and I got all sorts of garbage.

Next, I typed "!py lists" and the browser immediately opened this page for me: https://docs.python.org/3/search.html?q=lists

So that works really nice if what you need is Python's native docs.

But there's more to "bang" syntax usage, now totaling over 13,000 bangs: https://duckduckgo.com/bang#bangs-list
