Because of that, also, DDG is aware about every search that you do, even with bangs. Even though they allegedly don't do bad things with this data, it is a bit sad that you would ask one centralized service to route queries to providers in such a simple way, rather than do it client-side (and, say, have a mechanism to automatically install new bangs from the server to the client...).

DDG is aware of these queries anyway, I'm not losing anything. I only use !g as a fallback.
