At least desktop Firefox has something similar. Add a bookmark for e.g. “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s” with the keyword “wiki”, then when you type “wiki qwant” into the address bar you’ll get the Wikipedia page.
I guess it’s easier if you don’t have to bookmark each search first, but at least for sites you search often I don’t see the need for search engine provided bangs.
edit: As mentioned in another comment, there’s a newer way where you just right-click a search box and go to “add keyword”.
I knew about this in theory, but I used DuckDuckGo for a long time and got too spoiled to a point where it didn’t occur to me to just set it up myself.
Thank you for connecting the dots for me, I’ll set ut up right away.
