| Summary | 0017590: Allow addons to use custom search engines | ||||
| Description | I think it would be relatively simple (hopefully) to retrofit the app.utils.web.openSearchWeb method to allow addons to add support for whatever search engine they want. The method could take a string as its first argument, instead of an integer, to determine the URL that the method opens. It can then replace "%s" or "%S" with the search query that it determines from the second and third parameters. For example: https://open.spotify.com/search/%s -> app.utils.web.openSearchWeb('https://open.spotify.com/search/%s', type, item); https://napster.com/search?query=%s -> app.utils.web.openSearchWeb('https://napster.com/search?query=%s', type, item); https://www.jamendo.com/search?q=%s -> app.utils.web.openSearchWeb('https://www.jamendo.com/search?q=%s', type, item); Vivaldi does that for its custom search engines, and it works great. (see attached) Assigning to Jiri for evaluation on the idea. | ||||
