When no bang is given, the user will be redirected to a default search engine, which is configurable by each user. This evaluation is done on the client; the server doesn't ever see your search query. +The server keeps its own list of bangs, initialized with those from duckduckgo. Users are thus able to submit their own bangs on the website, which need to be approved by an administrator before coming into effect for all users. + +There is a public instance running at [search.metamuffin.org](https://search.metamuffin.org), running on a server in germany. |
