# 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](https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher),
but any app using `Intent.ACTION_SEARCH_WEB` works.
## Example Usage
2025-01-25 23:39:37 +01:00
* Type "sp test" in the search bar and launch search.
2025-01-25 23:35:32 +01:00
* 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
