[Feature Request] "Custom Web Search" 💫

Open SercanDmr opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Firstly , thanks for this application , It's very useful.👍

For Example:

"keyword" -> For Custom Web Search (Ex, yvs) "description" -> For View (Ex, YouTube Video Search) "search url" -> Web URL (Ex, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=)

-With These Parameters User Add This Object To Custom Web Search List.

Usage:

yvs cat (user type) -> Show As Web Search (YouTube Video Search) -> https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cat

This extension uses the Gnome shell search functions. There are probably gnome extensions that implement web search already. And these should work with search light. I'll try to investigate.

Looks like existing web search providers are not being maintained and may be incompatible with gnome 43. I will consider (investigate) adding custom search into this extension directly.
