How It Works:

When you type a query in the address bar starting with !, the extension intercepts it and redirects to your configured URL:
!g cats → Searches Google for "cats"
!yt music → Searches YouTube for "music"
!gh firefox → Searches GitHub for "firefox"
cats !g → Uses default search engine (bang must be at the start)
Simply type ! followed by a bang trigger and your search terms in the address bar:
