µSearch

A simple proof of concept app to allow selecting search engines by using a prefix.

This app has an intent-filter for Intent.ACTION_SEARCH_WEB, selects a search engine based on the prefix of the query and the opens a browser.

It is intended to be used together with µLauncher, but any app using Intent.ACTION_SEARCH_WEB works.

Example Usage

• Type "sp test" in the search bar and launch search.
• Select µSearch as search engine.
• µSearch launches and detects the prefix sp for StartPage
• µSearch opens the url https://startpage.com/sp/search?query=test

Currently the following engines are supported:

prefix	search engine
ddg	duckduckgo (default)
sp	start page
g	google
wp	wikipedia
aw	arch wiki
msn	mathscinet

TODO

• Add UI to let users configure search engines
• Add tutorial
• Icon
