=head1 NAME
GooseGooseGo - A DuckDuckGo-like search engine with saner defaults
=head1 DESCRIPTION
GooseGooseGo reflects my use of L<DuckDuckGo|http://duckduckgo.com>.
=over
=item *
By default search queries will be sent to L<Google|http://google.com>,
not DuckDuckGo.
=item *
The L<!bang syntax|http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html> is handled by
DuckDuckGo, except C<!>. Which will get you the first Google result,
instead of the first DuckDuckGo result.
=back
That's it!
