Quick Web Search

The Quick Web Search extension lets you open your favorite search engines instantly from Sliprail. Type an engine name, press Space to enter query mode, then type your keywords and press Enter. If you don't provide a query, Sliprail will open the engine's homepage.

What you can do

  • Search the web with Google, Bing, Baidu, DuckDuckGo
  • Search knowledge with Wikipedia
  • Jump directly to an npm package page by name
  • Define your own search engines with a flexible URL template

Supported engines

  • Google
  • Bing
  • Baidu (disabled by default — enable it in Settings)
  • DuckDuckGo
  • Wikipedia
  • npm (opens the package page for the given name)

You can enable/disable each engine in Settings > Extensions > Quick Web Search.

How to use

  • Engine + Space + keywords → open results in your default browser
    • Example: "google hello world"
    • Example: "duck stack overflow"
  • Engine only (no keywords) → open the engine homepage
  • For npm, type the exact package name to open its package page directly

Custom search engines

Create your own engines in Settings > Extensions > Quick Web Search > Custom Search Engines.

  • Name: The engine label you will search for in Sliprail
  • URL template: Use %s as the placeholder for the query
    • Example: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s
    • Without a query, Sliprail opens the base URL (without query/path)

Tips

  • Press Enter to open the result in your default browser
  • You can toggle engines on/off to keep the list focused
