The only thing stopping me from making this switch is that doing arithmetic in the url bar stops working... I use that quite a bit. Is this some deep integration with chrome or can it be made to work with ddg as well?

If you use bash, you can also use $(( 3 + 2 )). More often than not, if it gets cumbersome to fit it into Spotlight, I'm going to fire up a Python console.
