New search bar for the forum

[neonix]

Could you add new search bar that redirect user to commercial search engines?
This embedded search menchanism in forum is very bad. Especially if there are many results.

There can be option to choose diferent seach engines.


Instead typu in duckduckgo this phrase, I simply put "firefox" world in this forum bar.
firefox site: forum.tinycorelinux.net

Search is definitely not a strength, but I do not want to force a search engine on someone.  Just use your favorite link you have been doing.

Sometimes the forum search brings up threads DDG doesn't. I've been starting with the forum search and using DDG like neonix if the results are too messy. I wouldn't want that first option gone (in fact the ability to use it without logging in would be nice).

try : https://internet4000.github.io/find/


https://github.com/internet4000/find

DuckDuckGo also supports Bangs!, which will then be used if Find does not know a "search ! engine"; ex: !def find (will will delegate the to DDG, which knows what to do with !def)
save "user defined URLs" as engine(s) (a sort of "bookmark"), to be re-accessed from their "shortcode", !ex → https://example.org
