The one thing I don't like is that it goes through ddg. This makes sense implementation wise since it's a web site. But I wish it was built into the browser for when I use ddg in my browser URL field. Every once in a while ddg takes a while to respond.
- naniwaduni 6y agoIn Firefox you can set keywords for bookmarks so that you can get almost this effect.
- xattt 6y agoEdge does this too!
- perihelions 6y agoFirefox has a similar feature. You can define your own keyword rule, for example, to macro-expand hn duckduckgo into https://hn.algolia.com/?q=duckduckgo and thus get a shortcut to HN's own site search (Algolia), without involving Google/DDG/etc. To do this, you need simply to bookmark the URL https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%s and set the bookmark's "keyword" property to "hn". Then "hn" becomes a special operator in the omnibar, which eats the rest of the search string and substitutes it into its bookmark's "%s" parameter. (This isn't limited to search engine query strings: it's general-purpose template expansion on the URL string).
- RMPR 6y agoThis is neat, I hope it will also work with the Tridactyl's search bar
- bovine3dom 6y agoTridactyl can't use the bookmarks suggested above but you can do something similar with `:set searchurls.hn https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%s https://hn.algolia.com/?q=%s`.
