There are search pages that do not accept the search query from the URL.

This extension is very simple.

It:
1. Takes the URL (SCHEME://HOST[bla-bla-bla]) of the search page.
2. Attempts to find the pattern #SCHEME://HOST=NAME=VALUE in the URL.
3. Attempts to find the field <input id="NAME"> or <input name="NAME"> on the search page.
4. Fills the field with the value VALUE.
5. Sends the search query.

To be used with SSS or/and Redirect Link or/and Redirector or substitutes. Without them, this extension is of little use. Can be used alone with manually edited bookmarks.

How to use.

Let the search page have the URL: https://HOST[bla-bla-bla].

1. For use with SSS:

Add the search pattern to SSS: https://HOST[bla-bla-bla]#https://HOST=NAME={searchTerms}

2. For use with Redirect Link:

Add the redirect pattern to Redirect Link: https://HOST[bla-bla-bla]#https://HOST=NAME=%s://%h/%p?%q

3. For use with Redirector:

Caution!

An incorrectly configured Redirector can start an infinite loop!

For use with Redirector, DO NOT use the Redirector wildcard pattern, use the regex pattern instead.

^(https://{RX1}{CONST}{RX2}) => https://HOST[bla-bla-bla]#https://HOST=NAME=$1

Be careful with the regex pattern too! The left part of the regular expression {RX1} must not match the left part of the resulting URL {https://HOST[bla-bla-bla]#https://HOST=NAME=}.
