Introduction

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!
