- People seeking browser search shortcuts with less query exposure
- Worth noticing
- Its search URL uses a # fragment; the page says this keeps queries off its server and explicitly identifies browsers where custom engines cannot be added.
Field notes
The page demonstrates queries including arithmetic, unit conversion, time-zone lookup, an IP check, and `!w` and `!yt` shortcuts. It supplies browser-specific setup steps and distinguishes supported paths from limitations: its instructions say Safari and iOS browsers cannot add a custom engine this way, while Firefox on Android has a setup route.
