Show HN: Allsearch – Making it easier to use different search engines seamlessly
6 by WiggleGuy | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Allsearch is a tool I made after getting fed up with Google's search results and reading up on conversations on HN about the state of search on the internet. This is a tool I made as a spiritual successor to GnodSearch ( https://ift.tt/OREB8qm ), which I've seen in a couple conversations about search on HN. GnodSearch is great, but a bit barebones in terms of looks and functionality; Allsearch is my attempt to build off of it. Similar to Gnod, Allsearch allows you to apply any given search query to a search engine of your choice (either through only keystrokes, or via mouse). However, it also allows you to add your own engines to its catalogue, and allows you to define macros to use multiple engines simultaneously (useful for easily comparing engines). It's not feature complete; there are still some things I'd like to add in. There are way more engines I want to add to it's default catalogue, and I also want to add in the ability to export your settings to allow people to easily share their Allsesarch configurations. Curious about people's thoughts on it :)
