Wunbar: Pribluda for search "on 19 systems
In search of FireFox add-ons under Wolfram | Alpha , I accidentally stumbled upon an experimental search plugin for FF, which I quickly put in (I’ll always have time to demolish). The first thought that appeared during the installation: “Well, they are brazen!” - the plugin immediately asked if I wanted to make it the default search?
Damn him, did. I decided to search - I do not understand anything. The result is the usual issue of Google. Climbed deeper, climbed to their site - it is necessary to read the manual.
And finally understood. The thing is simple, like a sledgehammer, but, at the same time, absolutely fantastic:

The authors themselves called it simply: A Handy Search Tool (they could freely translate into Russian - “Pribluda for search”). The system processes the query string and, depending on the control codes that must be entered at the beginning of the string, redirects the search here or here (if it does not find the codes, then to Google).
In total, Wunbar understands 19 systems, and some of them cannot be called a search language even in a nightmare. At the same time, the search needs of the vast majority of users are covered. Here's what they did (immediately with the codes, if someone did not understand the screenshot):
Well, and from what began: plus search plug-ins to FF / IE with the same functionality.

- Search engines: g: Google, y: Yahoo, b: bing, ask: Ask, go: DuckDuckGo
- Information and links: w: Wikipedia (en), wa: WolframAlpha, gm: Google Maps, d: Dictionary.com, i: IMDb, in: LinkedIn, cb: CrunchBase
- And something else: a: Amazon, e: eBay, t: Twitter, f: Flickr, gi: Google Image, yt: YouTube, hn: Hacker News
Well, and from what began: plus search plug-ins to FF / IE with the same functionality.
