Basic

• 🔎 Use any search engines or inquery websites (multiple simultaneously) from one page. Any websites that support GET/POST request.

  E.g: Google, DuckDuckGo, Youtube, eBay, Github etc. Or the stock of a supermarket near your home (if it supports). Customizable. 50+ built-in.

• 🔎 User adding custom-defined search engine (syncronizable in extension)
• 🔎 Support using browser-installed search engines (browser extension, so can directly use those you've added into browser, Firefox only)

More

• 🖋️ Single-line or multi-line text edit/input and sending

  Useful when for e.g. you want to have article paragraphs translated

• 🗂️ Search engines categorization
• 📋 Save, reuse and manage your input history (only saved locally in the browser localStorage)
• 🖱️ Quickly use user selected text on webpage as search term (browser extension, context menu)
  - Not in Firefox incognito mode
• ⌨️ Keyboard shortcut (browser extension)
  • Open popup. Firefox: Ctrl+Alt+S Chrome & others：Ctrl+Shift+S
  • Set selected text as search term. Firefox: Ctrl+Alt+D Chrome & others：Ctrl+Shift+D
• 🖥️ Support both desktop (browser extension & web app) and mobile (web app only) devices

Even more: What's special about it

• 🔎 Even works with those In-page-Ajax-render websites that don't provide GET/POST interface to public
• 🔎 Do many operations at once by one button
• Good-looking, powerful and lightweight
• Uses JSON as unified search engines database (both built-in and user-defined). Has strong flexibility in engine data:
  • Multiple buttons for one engine: more than one operations for one engine. (Buttons inherit data from engine. Some key-value data ​​in button can override the ones in engine name)
  • Cross-engine use: Call another engine (or it's certain button action) to do the action
  • String-formatting user's input, according to engine's need
  • Combining above two to search websites that don't support search

Safety & Privacy

• 🛡️ Pure client-side tool functions fully. No necessary server. No collecting user's input or ad analyzing.
• 🛡️ Browser extension does not inject anything to web sites. (except when using In-page-Ajax-render engine)
