!ReBang

Rebang.Online

An enhanced, feature-rich fork of unduck that makes DuckDuckGo's bang redirects lightning fast while adding powerful new features and a modern interface.

!ReBang now lets you create and manage your own custom bang shortcuts! Tired of waiting for DuckDuckGo to add your favorite site? Take control and create your own bangs in seconds:

• Create unlimited custom bangs that work exactly like official ones
• Override existing bangs with your preferred destinations
• Simple interface to add, edit, and manage your custom collection
• Persistent storage keeps your bangs available across sessions
• Seamless integration with the existing bang system

Modern, Intuitive Interface

!ReBang features a clean, modern UI that makes searching with bangs more enjoyable:

• Sleek, responsive design that works on all devices
• Dark mode default
• Visual feedback during searches
• Easy access to Custom Bangs management

Intelligent Search with Bang Discovery

The search bar on the !ReBang home page does more than just accept queries:

• Bang autocomplete - Discover new bangs as you type with intelligent suggestions
• Visual indicators - See which bangs are available for your current query
• Instant feedback - Know exactly where you'll be redirected before pressing Enter
• Custom bang integration - Your custom bangs appear alongside official bangs in search results

Expanded Bang Collection

!ReBang goes beyond DuckDuckGo's bang collection:

• Create your own bangs - Add shortcuts to any website you frequently use
• AI-focused bangs - Quickly access ChatGPT (!chat), Claude (!claude), Perplexity (!perp), and other AI assistants
• Curated collection - Our bang list is regularly audited to remove dead links that DuckDuckGo hasn't maintained
• Community suggestions - New bangs are added based on user requests and usage patterns

Clean, Optimized, FAST Bang Database

While DuckDuckGo boasts about their 13,000+ bangs, we've learned that nearly half of them don't work! !ReBang focuses on quality, ensuring every bang in our database:

• Points to a working website
• Uses the correct search URL format
• Is properly maintained and updated

!ReBang dramatically improves on DuckDuckGo's bang database with a thorough cleanup and optimization:

• Removed 6,500+ dead bangs - Eliminated bangs pointing to:

  • Websites that no longer exist (over 4,900 dead domains!)
  • Search functions that have been deprecated or changed
  • Redirects that lead nowhere or to unexpected destinations

• Eliminated massive redundancy - DuckDuckGo artificially inflated their bang count with duplicates:

  • German Amazon alone had 10+ different bangs (!amazonde, !amazonger, !amazondeutschland, !amazong, etc.) all pointing to the exact same URL
  • Countless sites had 5-6 different bangs that all did the same thing
  • Many sites had separate bangs for their .com, .org, .net domains — all redirecting to the same place
  • This redundancy makes the system harder to use and unnecessarily bloated

• Intelligent organization - Reduced database size by ~49% without losing functionality:

  • Proper aliasing of identical destinations
  • Binary search optimization for instant results
  • Consolidated URLs with the same destination, while keeping the aliasing

• Why hasn't DuckDuckGo done this? - Despite promoting bangs as a key feature for over a decade, DuckDuckGo has neglected basic maintenance of their bang database. !ReBang steps in to provide what users deserve: a clean, fast, and reliable bang system.
