The only reason I use (and continue to use) it is because it can directly go to and search many other, sites without having to bookmark them all. Their search is trash, but I don't know any other page I can search everything else from. Brave, yandex, a wiki for a random game, youtube, even google if I need something relatively non-political.
SearX and Mojeek can be set up to use all those and other engines as well.
If you mean the bang notation, they work the same way in Brave search. For example, !g will take you to Google in both search engines.
That's good to know. Does it actually tell you that anywhere? Playing around with it, it doesn't actually list them like ddg does, so for any I don't know I'm basically guessing.

Great. When that's integrated into the main search bar I'll switch over. Going to a second page to determine what to type to go where I actually want to go defeats the purpose. Without that you might as well type 'youtube', click to go to youtube, and then search there.
