I love DDG and the !bang syntax. Just a tip if you want to avoid Google completely - use !sp instead of !g. You will get a Google result without any of your data going to Google. Also, you can use !bangs at the end of a search query too, not just the beginning.

The shorter "!s" is equivalent to "!sp". Also, "!spi" gives you a StartPage image search.
