# Unduckified ![dark and light modes of the app](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/taciturnaxolotl/unduckified/main/.github/images/both.webp) > This is a fork of [t3dotgg/unduck](https://github.com/t3dotgg/unduck). Check out Theo's hosted version at [unduck.link](https://unduck.link) for the original experience. ## Quick Start Add this URL as a custom search engine to your browser to use DuckDuckGo's bangs, but faster: ``` https://s.dunkirk.sh?q=%s ``` ## How is it that much faster? DuckDuckGo does their redirects server side. Their DNS is...not always great. Result is that it often takes ages. I solved this by doing all of the work client side. Once you've went to https://s.dunkirk.sh once, the JS is all cached and will never need to be downloaded again. Your device does the redirects, not me or any other server. ## How is this different from Theo's version again? This is primarily my personal fork to experiment with PWAs but I do have a few ideas that I would love to add to this. goose walking animation

- [x] Bangs - [x] Dark Mode - [x] Settings (for things like disabling search history and changing default bang) - [x] Search counter - [x] [OpenSearch](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XML/Guides/OpenSearch) support - [x] Search History (clearable, all local, and disabled by default ofc) - [x] Fancy sounds (disabled if you have `prefers-reduced-motion` set; sounds only account for `198.5 KB` of the `717.4 KB` total size) - [x] Cute little text animations - [x] Auto updating bangs file! (I'm using a [GitHub Action](https://github.com/taciturnaxolotl/unduckified/actions/workflows/update-bangs.yaml) to update the bangs file every 24 hours) - [x] Hashmapped bangs for faster searching - [x] local font file to avoid google fonts - [x] redirects to the base page of a bang if there is no query (e.g. `!g` will take you to google.com and `!yt` will take you to youtube.com) - [x] Suffix bangs (e.g. `ghr! taciturnaxolotl/unduckified` will take you to this github repo) - [x] Quick settings (e.g. `!settings` or `!` will take you to the settings page) - [x] Custom local bangs! (thanks to [@ayoubabedrabbo@mastodon.social](https://mastodon.social/@ayoubabedrabbo/114114311682366314) for the suggestion) - [x] Kagi bangs! We are able to grab the bangs from [kagisearch/bangs](https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs/) and Kagi is far more responsive than DuckDuckGo when it comes to updating their bangs. I would love to add these but they don't seem possible / feasible at the moment: - [ ] ~Search suggestions~ (as far as I can tell this essentially impossible to do natively with either firefox or chrome; please correct me if I'm wrong though. In this case I would very much love to be wrong) - [x] ~Weekly bang checks to ensure that all bangs still work and excludes those that don't~ this ended up being unreliable because of cloudflare rate limiting and switching to kagi bangs helped a lot with this ## Screenshots

Spoiler Alert: There is both a light and a dark mode 🤯 (shocking i know)
