Brew bang searches random hospital website

montchr

Steps to reproduce:

Query: !brew 1password
Result: https://fayettehospital.org/search?search%255Bterm%255D=1password

Expected behavior:
Search Homebrew packages on https://brew.sh for 1password.
~~This is supported on DDG.~~

Debug info:

Interestingly enough, I get the same result on DDG with that query.

In addition, I see that DDG has a !brewf bang, which, just like Kagi, results in a 404 at https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/1password

I wonder if this has something to do with https://brew.sh using Algolia?

Hi, !brew is a bang for the website BrewFormulas (brewformulas.org), which closed a couple of years ago. Now the website redirects to an unrelated website, fayettehospital.org.

!brewf only works for formulae. Therefore, !brewf ffmpeg works, but since 1password is a cask instead, !brewf 1password does not.
