AWESOME new @kagihq update:
For ex: I want to look at the wiki page for (power) sockets.

Previously you could do search like this:
socket !osmwiki
this would bring you to wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sp

But if I know that the chance of the right page being the first result on is high, I can just do:
socket @osmwiki !
then I land on: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ke:*

! is basically the Kagi equivalent of that google "i'm feeling lucky" feature from back in the day

wiki.openstreetmap.orgSearch results for "socket" - OpenStreetMap Wiki

@thibaultmol @kagihq As duckduckgo-user, I've been using
`!wosm <search>` for ages

@pietervdvn yeah Kagi is using the same ddg bang list but with some modifications.

instead of doing
!wosm <search>

I now will do
@wosm <search> !

which will put me on the first result Kagi finds. skipping having to click on the osmwiki search results first.

In my example, doing

!wosm socket
would land me on the search results page on the wiki
but
@wosm socket !
would land me directly on the key:socket page

@pietervdvn because what kagi is doing behind the scenes when you do

@wosm socket !

is basically doing
socket site:wiki.openstreetmap.org and then directing you to the first result
