This would be a weird place to stop for someone trying to minimize their time executing searches and clicking.
Having to navigate to the browser to launch a search for MDN Arrays from Vim is suboptimal. Alfred (OSX) is the best solution I can come up with. "lucky <query>" pulls the browser up with its Google Feeling Lucky result. I've shortened it to just "l <query>". You can add custom searches with a syntax like "example.com/whatever/{query}".
- mcrittenden 14y agoThe idea is to make it your browser's default search since lots of people (the majority?) search from the browser search bar or omnibar. Edit: you could also add this to Alfred. Alfred supports custom searches ( http://blog.alfredapp.com/2011/04/14/alfred-productivity-tips-using-custom-searches/ http://blog.alfredapp.com/2011/04/14/alfred-productivity-tip...) so you can just use http://www.duckduckgoog.com?q=SEARCH http://www.duckduckgoog.com?q=SEARCH as the custom URL and replace SEARCH with the token that Alfred expects
- danneu 14y agoRight, I wasn't trying to rain on the submission. But you bring up a good point -- DuckDuckGoog is still useful with Alfred since it saves you from having to manually create a bunch of custom searches.
