if anyone’s using ddg, you can do this by just adding !w for a direct Wikipedia search, or even !imdb for a direct imdb search without going to the respective sites first.
PSA for Firefox/fork users, click the button to the left of the search bar after clicking blank space in the search bar, you’ll get a list of choices besides just your primary selection. You can add more:
I haven’t used Bing in a while but I alternate between Ecosia and DDG, supposedly Bing as their main provider. I find more and more differences between them nowadays so I do feel DuckDuckBot and Qwant partnership are doing their thing. I’m optimistic about both of them broadening their sources as they state in their websites.
I think the trick here is to not use Google. The Wikipedia page for the movie heat is the first result on DuckDuckGo
I think the trick is to put the word “movie”
DDG also has a quick answer AI
It does?? I was using Brave because it had AI
(And also because so many websites are censored on DDG for some reason)
Its does, but its less annoying and actually has an off switch
You can also search Wikipedia directly.

Yeah, first part of any fresh Fox setup is changing the default search engine.
Yup, using the bang !w anywhere within the search
I use duck duck go as well. I wish it wasn’t just anonymised Bing search. One of these days I’ll look into an open source independent search engine.
