Hello RJP and Everyone
Applications >Internet >Search Bar has >search-bar antiXforum search link >clicking it will return search for “clipboard content” at current antiXforum. That read from clipboard enables any editor into a entry-text-box, using copy selection, before clicking >search-bar antiXforum.

This sample searches websearch with addition of parameter antiXforum.
Pesonalize this in accord to your circumstance;
pick a browser and pick a searchsite that works with it; trial; RJP xlinks2 furnish
samples

Default search-bar antiXforum is very direct.

Open dillo browser, click on the icon magnifying glass next to the location bar. It is a search entrybox dialog. Its hover tip is “Search the Web.” In dillorc put your favorite searchsite string in first position on the list of searchsites.

RJP duckduckgo goes
xlinks2 https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/
xlinks2 /home/$USER/.links2/bookmarks.html

For a deluxe text-entrybox
there is the package <synapse>
has a Internet Tab
will return antiX search results from web Open in browser
by typing “antiX forum live usb.” Return.
i use the theme Virgilio. How about You?

Hi ile, nice, just why only Patriot act US search engines.

https://metager.de/meta/meta.ger3?eingabe=%s   

Long list of searx instances at 
https://github.com/searx/searx-instances/blob/master/searxinstances/instances.yml

i appreciate the encroachment on remaining vestages of privacy in EU is disgusting
but think supporting the few remaining non us dominated or owned search engines is of
utmost importance for Europe..

ile, I tried your script, it has some of the features I would want

Xunzi, I too like scripts that are easily configurable

From the looks of it, bitJam created search-bar in 2014 (Thanks bitjam, always the Pioneer), and it looks like PPC created search-bar-icon

Because antiX’s forum here no longer has the search option, which is partly my fault for suggesting removing it when we were having forum errors and slug like performance, I now find myself looking for an easy way to search the forum. I will admit that I could type in somewhere and highlight the string I want to search for, but I noticed that it automatically searched for what I copied and pasted last, ie grabbed that and used it as the search string.

I guess we each have different “use cases” as to how we use browser searches, what sites (if restricted), what search engines, and even what brower we would want to use if it isn’t our default, like by using links to save memory when searching antixforum rather than the default firefox. I was thinking of a no memory required toolbar icon, and/or binding it to the keyboard “Search” key.

A few features I would like would be:
1. ability to edit the search string before executing and have it automatically replace spaces with + signs instead of asking me to enter them by hand
2. Ability to add additional search engine commands so that I can choose different search engines for my different types of searches if I want, and maybe allow for a # sign in front of ones I might want to leave in the list just in case, but not display for selection.

Just thinking out loud, brainstorming as it were… As I said, I see ile has made the search string default in (but not from the clipboard), and allowed it to be edited, and also thought about having different browsers for searching different sites.

PS Thoughts after doing some testing:
Bitjam’s search-bar is oriented towards icons, and running searches for the icon’s site for the clipboard value with your default browser
PPC’s search-bar-icon is setup to run Bitjam’s search-bar search by clicking a tray icon also from the clipboard value

Since it was the closest in functionality, I worked from the ile version to create something closer to what I was looking for.

A major change I made was to use any highlighted selection as the default search value, and if nothing is highlighted, it defaults to the last thing copied to the clipboard.
One problem I found was the GTK dialog doesn’t like it if you try to put code in the search box field. It gets freaky errors if you do. Not sure if YAD would do any better. I did try putting double quotes around it but that didn’t work. Any suggestions on that?

Todo: I was thinking to add pulldown selection fields to allow me to select which site (or blank for all) to search, another for which search engine to use, and another for what browser to be use. All would default to the last ones used, and values would be stored in a configuration file.

#!/bin/bash
## web search
# search for whatever is highlighted now or was last copied into the clipboard
SEARCHSTR=$( xclip -o )
#echo "Before SEARCHSTR: $SEARCHSTR"
# if nothing highlighted look use what is in the clipboard
if [ -z "$SEARCHSTR" ]; then
	SEARCHSTR=$( xclip -o -selection clipboard )
#	echo "Before2 SEARCHSTR: $SEARCHSTR"
fi
#SEARCHSTR='"$SEARCHSTR"'
export DIALOG=$(cat <<End_of_Text
