I started watching this video i made my own search engine (kind of), where he builds a similar webpage to use in any browser. Then I challenge myself to build the same concept using github pages.
- Go to your browser's Search Engine Settings.
- Add a new search engine:
- Name: Bang Search
- Keyword:
!(or any you like) - URL:
https://bang-search.jonathanoldenburg.github.io?q=%s
Just use your query followed by a bang code (a ! plus a letter).
Example:
how to train a falcon !g
This redirects you to Google with the search "how to train a falcon".
