DuckDuckGo bang for Fedora Docs?

[Justin W. Flory]

Hi all,

Has anyone considered a request for a DuckDuckGo bang for Fedora Docs?

Bangs are one of the unique features of DuckDuckGo. With an alias, you
can search thousands of websites from DuckDuckGo.

https://duckduckgo.com/bang

For example, it would be cool if `!fdocs rpm` searched the Docs site for
RPM documentation. If I knew there were a DuckDuckGo bang, I would use
it all the time.

There is a form to submit a request for a new bang, but not sure if
someone with more awareness of how search works on docs would want to
fill this out.

https://duckduckgo.com/newbang

I wanted to throw it out there, since Eduard and I had a conversation
about DDG bangs on Twitter. :-)

I think this is potentially very useful.  Before we go forward, I'd like to see the tooling and search settle a bit on the docs site solely so we can do this once and not have a potentially bad "alpha" experience.

WDYT?  If you agree, can we get a tracker ticket opened in docs.fp.o?

This also makes sense to me.
