Has strong flexibility & extensibility in engine data: - 🔲 Multiple buttons for one engine: more than one operations for one engine. (Buttons inherit data from engine. Some key-value data ​​in button can override the ones in engine name) - 📞 Cross-engine use: Call another engine (or it's certain button action) to do the action - 🔏 String-formatting or character-replacing user's input, according to engine's need. And, charset specifying. - 🔎 Combining above two to search websites that don't support search ### Safety & Privacy - 🛡️ Pure client-side tool functions fully. No necessary server. No collecting user's input or ad analyzing. - 🛡️ Browser extension does not inject anything to web sites. (except when using In-page-Ajax-render engine) ## How to edit search engines Ordinary users who only use basic features can directly use our online gui engine-editing tool (Read more at source code page: https://github.com/garywill/BigSearch )
