- DDG keeps their bangs in a file =/bang.v${VERSION}.js= (e.g., =/bang.v260.js=, =/bang.v245.js=)
- despite the file extension, it is a JSON file
- conveniently versioned though older versions are missing
- though, you can the latest version through =/bang.js=
- slightly not readable at first glance but by taking multiple examples, we can get a pattern
  + =d= is the domain
  + =c= is the category
  + =u= is the template and the URL that we sorely need
  + =t= is the trigger word, aka the thing we need to search (e.g., =!w= will have =t: "w"=)
  + =a= is a list of aliases
  + =sc= is subcategory
Update notebook as of 2021-10-09 Welp, I rarely take notes nowadays due to more specialized work and stuff. Though, I should have more incentives for writing. In other words, I'm just lazy. ;p More free-thinking morning sessions should be done soon. 2021-10-09 10:14:46 +00:00			`:PROPERTIES:`
