I use DDG just because they have !bangs and it saves me so much time.

!yt searches YouTube !imdb searches IMDb

And so on.

I just have that in my browser. If I type y search term I get a YouTube Search page for "search term".

If bangs are used for positive searching how do I search for things without the name. I thought !youtube filters out YouTube.

-YouTube.com should filter it out. !yt actually takes you to YouTube and then searches the keyword(s).

you can do this with most other search engines i think by prefixing your search with the domain name or name of the website

no, bangs take you to the website and searches it in there
