Scraping may violate of Google's own acceptable use policy, but it's not illegal.
Sure, it's only okay for Google to scrape all websites, but not you scraping it. Got it.
There's plenty of hypocrisy at that company but this doesn't strike me as a case of it.
So these all just directly search for that term on the (usually substandard) internal website search box? I don't get the appeal. I want the bang to show a good/filtered SERP, not load some other site directly. (similar to a `site:x` search on Google I guess.) What I'd really like to use is a search engine that had custom ranking of domains. I'd heavily weigh it to only show Stack Exchange, Reddit, and forum posts. O…
The one thing I don't like is that it goes through ddg. This makes sense implementation wise since it's a web site. But I wish it was built into the browser for when I use ddg in my browser URL field. Every once in a while ddg takes a while to respond.

In Firefox you can set keywords for bookmarks so that you can get almost this effect.

Google is quite scrupulous about robots.txt. There's plenty of hypocrisy at that company but this doesn't strike me as a case of it.
I'd suggest respecting Google's robots.txt as much as Google respects our DNT settings.
How many bangs do you really remember ? Bangs are cool but i don't think one can remember many bangs. This site is also very good. But, it's unfortunately not much use to me as i would directly search the term with 'site:' during the time i would take to search for specific bang. Also, if i wanted to search specific site, i would add it in search engines of my browser.
Those are probably my most commonly used ones.

(This isn't limited to search engine query strings: it's general-purpose template expansion on the URL string).

For many sites, you can probably just guess the bang without much hassle. The easiest example is IMDb, but my success rate guessing is pretty high. Plus, most people tend to spend most of their time on just a few sites. Knowing one or two bangs is useful enough.
I don't use this, but looking at that list, I would disagree. I just looked up some of the top sites I'd want to use and I wouldn't have guessed any of them Wikipedia -> !w Youtube -> !you reddit user -> !reu subreddit -> !reddits also !reddit points to new version, I'd want !redditold Twitter -> !tweet Steam -> !steme (???) Twitch -> !ttv That being said, if you're on DDG, there's pretty good auto complete on bangs…
