Description
Set up custom shortcut phrases for search engines, so you can search on your favorite websites with just a few keys with this Safari extension.
QueryDial is a Safari extension that allows you to search faster with custom search engine shortcuts.
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
*Getting started is easy*
1. Add your frequently used searchable websites (e.g., YouTube, Quora, Twitter, etc.) to QueryDial's search library.
2. Set up simple and easy-to-remember shortcuts (e.g., shortcut “yt” represents YouTube).
3. Enter your search terms directly in the Safari's search bar* or in the QueryDial toolbar window.
4. 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").
*It also offers 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*
Use QueryDial’s Safari Popup to easily view the website snapshots or search the domain using site search services.
*Enhance your “Shortcuts” app*
QueryDial provides a number of useful shortcuts that you can use to customize your own workflows in the “Shortcuts” app. Try build your own workflow using shortcuts!
*To use QueryDial directly in the search bar, you need to enable shortcuts for the browser's default search engine in QueryDial's settings. QueryDial currently supports using shortcuts in the following search engines: Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Yahoo, Baidu, Naver, Ecosia, Brave Search, Startpage, Kagi, Qwant, Swisscows
What’s New
Version 1.2.0
Big update, big update! In version 1.2.0, we've added several exciting new features (and bug fixes), including:
* More search engines: you can now use the popup to perform site search and viewing caches/snapshots of the current tab's website using services like Wayback Machine;
* More customizable placeholders: {d} and {u} can represent the current tab's domain and link respectively;
* Share search engines using links: copy shareable links of your search engines so others can use them too!
* Create new search engines when you browse in Safari: simply share the website you wish to use to QueryDial to assign a shortcut to it.
