Search multiple websites using a single shortcut.
Project description
searchlauncher
Search multiple websites at once using your default browser.
The search (launcher) can be triggered from anywhere as it's listening for a global keypress.
Installation
pip install searchlauncher
Requires Python 3.11 for now.
Running in background
searchlauncher
to start as a daemon waiting for a configurable keypress (e.g., Ctrl + Shift + E
).
Then type your query and press Enter
to submit or Esc
to close the window.
This will open the search for each website in a new tab.
Searching different website groups can be triggered with different hotkeys.
Searching from console
Instead of running in background, you can use the CLI run a one-off search.
To open a search for all configured websites:
searchlauncher search "an item I'm looking for"
You can also select a custom search group:
searchlauncher search "and now for something completely different" -g en
Settings and supported websites
To open the config file location, you can run
searchlauncher config
after installing.
See the available default websites and groups

You can easily modify this file to add and modify target websites as well as their groups.
You can also customise the default shortcut
hotkey as well as shortcuts for all groups.
