Even more: What's special about it
- 🔎 Even works with those websites that don't provide GET/POST interface to public (so-called Ajax-only websites)
- 🔎 Do many operations at once by one button
- ? Good-looking, powerful and lightweight
- 💪 Uses JSON as unified search engines database (both built-in and user-defined). 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
Special technical features make it more satisfying to technician people comparing to similar tools. Of course, it is also completely easy for ordinary people to use.
