+# 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
+* 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
+
