Added

Bug Fixes

New Features

• Multiple URL Targets: A single bang can now open multiple URLs at once! (#33) This feature unlocks quite some useful possibilities, such as getting multiple translations for a text, opening your favorite new outlets at once, or quickly launching all your work-related sites (e.g., Jira, Confluence, GitHub, etc.). It's up to you what other uses you give it.
• Custom Base URL: The base URL is the URL that is opened when a bang is triggered without arguments. Until now, this feature was quite limited, but with this new version you can customize it with any arbitrary URL! (#34)

Bug Fixes

• Yang should now work on Startpage when set as search engine through their extension. (#30)
• On mobile, info tooltips now work correctly.

Added

• Added support for NoGoo.me.

Improvements

• Bangs can now have up to 25 characters (by @TinfoilSubmarine in #32).

New Features

• You can now click on a bang to copy it. This can be especially useful when browsing the list of bangs after forgetting one of your bangs.

Added

• Support for Karma Search (see #28).
• Support for Mullvad Leta.

Improvements

• When undoing a bang deletion, the bang is simply added back to the table, without reloading the entire page.

Bug Fixes

• Fix default bang not being restored when deleting a custom bang that overrides a default bang.
• Fix back button behavior across screens.

Improvements

• The "Name" column in the Custom Bangs table is now wider on mobile devices.

Bug Fixes

• Bangs now work on EU and US Startpage servers (see #24). Note that the new site permissions might need to be manually toggled on after updating.

Changed

• This new version embeds some UI improvements. Notably, when no—or only a few—custom bangs have been added, the UI will no longer look awkward (especially on mobile).

Bug Fixes

• On Android, bangs should now be able to trigger right after opening your browser (see #20).

Bug Fixes

• Bangs should again trigger without having to retry (see #20).

Changed

• When you add a new bang, the first text input will now be focused and ready for you to type.

Did you know?

• You can also use bangs as site shortcuts (without specifying {{{s}}}). For example, to quickly access the Yang! settings, you can add a bang !y with the URL of the extension (note that this URL might change every now and then).

Non-user-facing Changes

• This version embeds some performance improvements. For example, search engines tend to make a lot of requests aside from the search request itself (e.g., to pre-fetch data, telemetry, etc.). We now employ a more aggressive filtering, so that all these unrelated requests are not considered by Yang!.

New Features

• The bang symbol (!) can now be customized! Yang allows to set up to three characters to trigger bangs. The characters are not restricted to symbols, which means that anything can be used (e.g., letters, numbers, etc.)

Changed

• Yang now uses Kagi Bangs as default bangs. In case connection fails, Yang fallbacks to using DuckDuckGo bangs.
• There is a new Settings page where you can change the bang symbol.
• Backups have been moved to the new Settings page.

Did you know?

• On desktop, when adding/editing bangs or updating settings, you can press Ctrl+Enter (or Cmd+Enter) to save the changes.

Bug Fixes

• New users were unable to edit bangs. After updating, this will no longer be the case.
• We now validate that the inputted bang contains no whitespaces.
