Sometimes I want to make a quick web search, and I’d prefer not to leave
Emacs. Sure, I could switch over to a different workspace and open a browser,
but I’d much rather do it in Emacs if possible. eww
will let you search
instead of enter a URL, but you only get one search engine (which is, by
default, Duck Duck Go). I’m used to the wonderful interface of Chrome, which
allows you to use a keyword to specify your search engine, right within the
“Omnibox”. Anything else feels crude. So, I decided I would implement my own
search solution!
