Correct mistyped bangs

[rfwatson]

While using DDG in the Firefox address bar, I regularly mis-type while entering the bang. For example,

some search term !g

accidentally becomes

some search term !gh

By the time I've realised the mistake, I've been transported to GitHub. At this point I have to hit back, re-enter the entire search query in the search bar and press ENTER again.

It would be useful to be able to correct the mistake with a special search query, for example:

!!g

This would replay the last search, but against the corrected search provider.

Perhaps there is already a better workaround for this situation? If not, what do people think about this feature? Would there be an appetite for a PR adding this functionality?

Thanks for your feedback @rfwatson. It sounds like this is really annoying :( We handle suggestions like this internally so I'll be adding this to our list. Thanks again!

This happens to me regularly but I'm not sure about a good solution.
