I use !bangs a lot, but I wish they worked at the end of your search terms instead of just at the beginning.

I often don't think about the specifics of what I want until I've started typing, then I realize, "Oh, I actually want the wikipedia page of this." So I have to Ctrl-A to the beginning and type !w [space].

It's not a big hassle, but it'd be great if I could skip that step.

Easy fix--will do tomorrow as it's getting late :)
This is now fixed. I also made them case insensitive.
"I use !bangs a lot, but I wish they worked at the end of your search terms instead of just at the beginning."

In addition to, not instead of. (And why not just allow it anywhere in the terms?)

I like seeing that my previous search was a ! search in my ff search bar. If it's a long search term I wouldn't see it at the end.
