It just seems he used a useless search on purpose. The !w for wikipedia searches and the !v for youtube searches are as awesome as the !python is lame.


Or he is a Python developer(I know I work with him). Searching the python docs or the Internet for some module is a pretty common use case.


True, but I think DDG is smart to pursue the bigger market of "people who want to find stuff on wikipedia, youtube, and google image search" and wait for DuckDuckHack to come up with a plugin that does skillful python searches.


Should plugins really be necessary? What would a plugin bring to the table that searching "python whatever" doesn't?
