added search engine toggle
I added a radio button to allow the user to choose between Google and DuckDuckGo. Feel free to merge into yours if you want!
Did you manage to incorporate filetype:html, !safeoff as well as !ducky into duck duck go? I was failing. :(
@peterberbec what does !safeoff do in this context? (I want to be careful not to disable NSFW filters when they do exist, since I'm sure people are using it at work occasionally)
@humantorch thank you for the PR! My only concern is that any type of choice might break the simplicity -- I'm thinking it might be good to have an "advanced settings" area in a hidden location for power users (and make it possible to set settings via querystring).
If you don't mind I might try to incorporate your button into that kind of interface.
Regardless, I'd love to have duckduckgo simply be the default for everyone.
@slifty !safeoff does exactly that, disables nsfw filtering. Issue I had when I played with DDG was it was stall the page if it encountered a safe page
@peterberbec No, all I did was prepend the search terms with a \ character which invokes DDG's version of I Feel Lucky (which I didn't realise was a Thing until I found this page: http://rumyittips.com/search-smarter-than-google-with-duckduckgo – point 9).
@slifty No worries at all, feel free to use anything I added as you see fit. Your point about not wanting to over-complicate things is totally valid. I'd originally just swapped in DDG for Google and it worked fine, and then thought "what the hoo-ha might as well make it a choice" so it's not like I'd spent hours agonising over the UI. ;)
@slifty It's been 3 years since this project has seen any commits, and I see there's some really neat pull requests. I'd love to see some customization added to it. I'm going to start using this! I really like that it's just an html file, so all you need to run it is a browser.
