Most of the time you want answers from a certain place, be it reddit, or stackoverflow.
It's usually easy enough to add the site, by simply writing its name, but it could be easier.
I'm thinking right now this:
- Compile a browser without the cross origin limitations
- Make a site that uses iframes with all the answer-providing websites in it
- Simply focus the text input in the site/iframe you want and search away
- Have a way to open the results in your main browser or just use that patched browser
Like one of those internet explorer toolbars, except they cover the whole area.
- 8organicbits 4y agoRecompiling a browser is a pretty heavy lift. DuckDuckGo allows one text box to be rerouted to a different search engine with a "bang". https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang You could also build your own, most search engines have a specific pattern to how they encode the search term in the URL. Although, I suppose that doesn't support auto-complete
- closedloop129 4y agoWhy do you need to show the sides in iframes? You could submit your query to your target sites like this: https://searchaggregate.com/ https://searchaggregate.com/ [1] [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31722417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31722417
