Personal Userscripts Collection

Instant Search Switcher - Android Double Tap to Seek - Site Search for Arc Browser - Site Search for Arc Browser for Google

A collection of browser userscripts created for personal use, designed to enhance web browsing experience. These scripts are compatible with userscript managers like Tampermonkey.

If you are on any Android phone, you can use these with Firefox Android (Highly Recommend), Kiwi Browser, Microsoft Edge Canary, Lemur Browser and Quetta Browser.

Available Scripts

1. Arc-Style Site Search

A userscript that 'fixes' site search functionality in Arc Browser. Use shortcuts like @perplexity from the address bar directly to instantly search on your favorite sites. Why does this exist? Well, while the feature works perfectly on macOS, it's widely known that site search just does not work on Arc for Windows. So, decided to fix it.

Features

• Instant redirection to search results
• Multiple search engines support
• Easy to customize and extend

Supported Search Engines

Shortcut	Site
@perplexity	Perplexity AI
@g	Google
@youtube	YouTube
@morphic	Morphic
@qwant	Qwant
@phind	Phind
@yandex	Yandex

Usage

1. Install a userscript manager (like Tampermonkey)
2. Install this userscript
3. In any search box, type a shortcut followed by your search query
   • Example: @perplexity how to make pasta
   • Example: @youtube funny cats
   • Example: @phind javascript arrays

The script will instantly redirect you to the corresponding search engine with your query.

Customization

Adding a New Search Engine

1. Open the userscript
2. Find the searchEngines array
3. Add a new entry following this format:

{
    shortcut: '@example',
    url: 'https://example.com/search?q=%s'
}

4. Add the domain to the searchDomains Set:

const searchDomains = new Set([
    'example.com',
    // other domains...
]);

Removing a Search Engine

1. Remove its entry from the searchEngines array
2. Remove its domain from the searchDomains Set

Important Note About Default Search Engines

⚠️ Do not add your browser's default search engine to the script. This can cause redirect loops because:

1. When you search, your browser first redirects to your default search engine
2. The script then tries to redirect from there
3. This creates a conflict and breaks the functionality

For example, if you use Brave Search as your default search engine, don't add the @brave shortcut to the script.

Query Parameter Support

The script supports various search query parameters:

• q (most search engines)
• search_query (YouTube)
• text (Yandex)
