!tr as the regional bang for Turkey

GERGE

Could you please add !tr as Turkey's regional bang?

It would make easier yo search for local results.

This is tricky as currently the !tr already points to kagi translate and is used fairly often. I don't want to change this and break a bunch of existing users workflows. We could potentially move the !tur bang if that would work for you.

I know that I can use country codes as bangs, like XXX !fr for France.

I haven't tried all the countries, but at least for Turkey, it doesn't work and redirects to Kagi Translate instead.

I encourage you to explore these similarities!

i would expect to see Turkey region as !tr bang.

Huh; that's very strange.

I can reproduce that, and definitely agree it should be changed / fixed.

In the meantime, you can manually correct this for your account using a custom bang to override the behaviour;

Provide the following for the URL: https://kagi.com/search?q=%s&r=tr

Like so;

See https://github.com/kagisearch/bangs?tab=readme-ov-file#region-bangs for a list of regions that currently aren't mapped to bangs.

We decided to continue to add them on a case-by-case basis due to the fact that a lot of these region codes already have bangs, especially with !tr which currently points to translate (and is fairly popular). We don't want to break existing workflows for users as much as we can.

Maybe adding tur as Turkey would be a good alternative?
