Ability to set custom bang that only has a snap url

Thibaultmol

Currently if you want to create a bang that only can function as a snap (because the site in question doesn't have a url that allows you to add a %s in there; but you still want to have a quick shortcut to do a site: search with it) you can't. The form forces you to add a URL in the URL field even if there is a url in the "snap domain" field

The way this is done for some sites in the bangs repo is to create a bang with template /search?%s+site:mycoolwebsite.com, and a snap domain of mycoolwebsite.com. This allows you to use both forms (!website or @website)

I mean, you're not wrong, but the average user won't know that. And while doing that makes sense for us, even if you put an explanation like this in the help docs, it will still confuse the user.

I think it makes more sense to make the field requirement on the custom bang page require that the bang field is filled OR the snap domain is filled.

Thibaultmol In the backend in that case, we can auto-fill the bang template the way I described. Alright, valid point
