Ask HN: Review my site - Wunbar (one bar to search across the web)
- makecheck 17y agoIt's a neat idea; but I have to say, I wouldn't use it because I can already set up these kinds of short-cuts in my web browser (OmniWeb) with more flexibility. To give an example of what OmniWeb can do: - Define any shortcut pattern with any name. - Map that to a URL, where the string can be substituted in at any point. This also means you can set key-value pairs for queries, etc. - Specify GET or POST. So a useful addition to your site might be user profiles that allow people to define anything they could ever want.
- timae 17y agoYup, this can be done with some setup. This is the easy/no set-up option. Use it directly on the site, or use it in the firefox search bar. And, the best part for me is that no prefix defaults to Google, so I only go out of my normal search routine when I want to. Good idea on allowing people to extend the functionality.
