    It’s crazy that the “I’m feeling lucky” button still exists, I probably haven’t clicked it in 20 years (though I’ve been using DDG for like the last five).

      on ddg you can get the same function by adding an exclamation mark “!” (as in a !bang with no text)

        Is there a site that lists all the keycuts (like keywords and shortcuts in 1) for such search engines?

        Like

        !
        

        for DDG and

        site:text
        

        for Google

        I do know that Qwant at least does support the latter, sort of.

          On DDG those words with the exclamation point are called !bangs, and you can search them by adding !bang to the search query. If you only put “!bang” without a query it takes to the landing page.

          For other operators you’ll have to look at each search engine’s help pages.
