  • Added the missing manga query for anilist
  • Updated bangs order for MAL, Kitsu and ANN (just a visual improvement since I had to search them up each time)
  • Fixed few things for MAL
    • Default query is all and so the triggers are mal, malist, malall, myanimelist
    • Anime query had wrong category and subc, and now uses mala trigger
    • manga query added with malm trigger
    • There was already a manga query which I found later (I didn't notice it was far down the list, away from the default MAL bang). I removed it but used its mml trigger in the new MAL manga bang (I don't understand why DDG used mml)
  • Anime News Network fixes
    • Moved up ANN Encyclopedia bang close to default ANN bang
    • Used the same naming used for default ANN bang (another weird DDG choice there)
    • Updated subc for ANN Encyclopedia bang since it searches anime by default, not mangas (Comics -> TV)
  • Kitsu fixes
    • it uses generic mangas and animes triggers, so I replaced them with kitsu, ksu for Kitsu Anime bang and kitsum, ksum for Kitsu Manga bangs

@NECOtype

@NECOtype
Fix & Add MyAnimelist bangs
75ca654 
- default MAL search will be "all" with `mal`, `malall`, `malist` and `myanimelist`
- fixed category and sub-category for "anime" query, used trigger is `mala`
- added "manga" query for MAL with `malm` for trigger
@NECOtype
Remove the extra manga query for MAL
71ca701 
use its `mml` trigger for backwards compatibility
@NECOtype
Update Anime News Network
4f8340d 
- move up the Encyclopedia query next to default ANN search
- use correct naming instead of DDG's way of naming the website
- comic as subc since the encyclopedia search is "anime" by default
@NECOtype
Remove generic animes and mangas bang for Kitsu
6386943 
- use `kitsu`, `ksu`, `kitsua` and `ksua` for anime search
- use `kitsum`, `ksum` for manga query
- move manga query next to anime query
@NECOtype
Remove kitsua and ksua for Kitsu
2a05b19 
actually on second thought, no need for these two if default `ksu` and
`kitsu` already does it.

If possible, I'd recommend not removing triggers, instead adding them to w/e you're replacing them with (even tho they're generic, I don't want to break anyone's existing workflows)

mangas and animes are added as additional triggers which hopefully should work like before.
