I actually like that very much, a bit like DuckDuckGo's bangs: google this string !g. @gleitz what do you think?

Rather than trying to support a bunch of tags, we might want to document and encourage the usage of aliases that can be easily configured by users. For example you can search other StackExchange properties like this:

alias hcook='function hcook(){ HOWDOI_URL=cooking.stackexchange.com howdoi $* ; }; hcook'
hcook make pesto

or make a bing-specific search like so:

alias hbing='function hbing(){ howdoi --engine bing $* ; }; hbing'
hbing format date bash
