With QueryDial, you can:
- Use “yt cats" to search for cute cat videos on YouTube
- Use "w Gravity" to easily find the content you want on Wikipedia
- Use “!x #trending" to view real-time trending topics on X
- or, assign shortcut for any websites you like!
Getting started is easy
- Add your frequently used searchable websites (e.g., YouTube, Quora, Twitter, etc.) to QueryDial's search library.
- Set up simple and easy-to-remember shortcuts (e.g., “yt” for YouTube, “w” for Wikipedia).
- Enter your search terms directly in the Safari's search bar* or in the QueryDial toolbar window.
- Include the shortcut in your search terms (e.g., “!yt funny cats") or as the first word in your search (e.g., “yt funny cats").
Different ways to enter shortcuts
- !Bang commands: Use commands like “!wiki grey fox” or “grey fox wiki!” to quickly open a search on the specified website. The syntax here is same as the !Bangs from DuckDuckGo.
- Keyword shortcuts: Add the shortcut before or after your search terms, separate them with a space, such as “yt cat videos” or “cat videos yt”.
Site Search and Snapshot Services
Save time entering "site:domain.com". Use QueryDial’s Safari popup to easily view the website snapshots or search the domain with site search services.
