[FEATURE] Dynamically adjust the search engine

[onnttf]

Please Describe The Feature You Would Like To See

Is it possible to dynamically adjust the search engine? That is, when google is unavailable, use bing instead?

Hey @onnttf, you can change, add or remove search engines with different prefixes as you wish.

Please look at the wiki page for search related options.

If this answers your question, please let me know so I can close this issue.

Cheers!

Hi, I read the document you gave me, but it is actually preconfigured. Perhaps I didn't express it clearly. I want to automatically select the appropriate search engine based on the situation when the page is opened. (China blocks Google, so if I don't have a proxy, I'm hoping it can automatically switch to Bing or something.

Ah, gotcha! Unfortunately, there is no such feature implemented. As a workaround for you, I would suggest using prefixes depending on your connection.

• While using proxy, g search params will initiate a search through Google
• While not using proxy, d search params will initiate a search through DuckDuckGo

You can add the Bing option on your configuration below these blocks

EDIT: If there is a service that redirects those queries depending on blocks, you could add that URL to config and launch that service instead. Then, it should reroute to the non-blocked URL.

Got it, thank you for your reply
