It seems neat on the surface but it also seem to involve two redirects, first one to google.com (which is not obvious and personally not something I would like), and then to MDN. It would be cool if it linked directly to the page on MDN or showed the content directly within the page.
And the second time I clicked I was met with this message, not mdn.io's fault but nonetheless (i.e. "google police" - not sure what they mean with "unusual activity", there is hardly any at the moment - maybe not enough? :) or maybe I just got a busy vpn exit point):

Yup, that site seems to be basically redirector to Google redirector [1].
You can get the very same effect like DuckDuckGo keyword search but with "just the last redirect" with vanilla browser bookmark [2] with `%s` interpolation:
If you go to chrome settings -> Manage search engines and define a new search engine with Keyword: "m" and
"URL with %s in place of query": https://www.google.com/search?&q=site%3Adeveloper.mozilla.or... typing "m await" in the omnibar will jump to the first google result from MDN, which is what it seems mdn.io does.
Was on a plane ride this weekend and was thinking how I needed to re-install Dash so I could have an offline docs viewer. Personally like the web format much better, thanks!
While we're on MDN related awesomeness, shameless plug: Back when I was in school, I made this Chrome extension which allows you to jump directly from the address bar to the MDN page you want:
FYI, if you're already shortening the so-called "bangs", you could use "!h" for Haskell. :)
Worth pointing out: submitting bang ideas is very, very trivial, but the whole process may last months. Last time I've read about someone complaining about a long bang, I've submitted "!gw" as a shorter version of searching Gentoo's Wiki and it became a thing a couple of days ago. This is maybe fifth or sixth bang that I've submitted to them via https://duckduckgo.com/newbang.
This will bring you to a search result page, yes? My ext combines Google's I'm Feeling Lucky to jump straight to the page for the top result, which I find works 99% of the time I'm looking for something on MDN.
