A DuckDuckGo bang command (!?)* searches a website using the search feature provided by that website. In this post, these bang commands are links. That is, they have links embedded in them.
An asterisk may have a link embedded in it – as in the third example below. If there is no link embedded in an asterisk, the asterisk refers to a footnote.
When in parentheses, bang commands link to results of a search for what they follow. When not, they link to results of a search for what they precede:
!yt Unitarian Church of Vancouver / YouTube
!ucv principles for kids / for grownups: UU principles (!g)
Unitarians care less about belief, more about how to live.*
“he taught a way of life” / Salzberg on Goenka on Buddha (!?)
An asterisk with a prepended exclamation point looks like a bang command and links to results of a search on a site that has no custom bang command:
Starhawk (!*)
!* Hewett
Entries made in the sermons document before 2022 used this faux bang command to link to posts on this website. They now use an asterisk.*
☛To find out where a link is going to take you, move the pointer over it, pause to read the destination your browser displays – at the bottom left of the screen or wherever – and then click (or not).
*a link – see a note on notes and links
The line above is a suggested footnote for any document that follows the conventions this post follows.
