Feature Request: Support URL Schemes #164

Closed tommytwoeyes closed 8 years ago

tommytwoeyes commented 8 years ago

It would really enhance the usefulness of the DDG app if it registered and supported a URL scheme (e.g. ddg:// or duckduckgo://) so that the app could be opened interactively from not only other apps in general, but especially from iOS automation tools like Workflow and Launch Center Pro.

thanks for the suggestion @tommytwoeyes. I'll bring this up internally.

@tommytwoeyes @edgesince84 this should already work... if you search with a url such as duckduckgo:///?q=<url-encoded-search-terms>

You can also invoke the app and go straight to the query form by omitting the 'q' parameter to the URL. I use Launch Center Pro myself and just noticed that they already have support for the invoking DuckDuckGo Search & Stories with a query in their built-in list, so the URL in their auto-created launch button should be an easy path to setting it up.

Thanks! Sean
