Ecosia web browser - use to search for specific term

[kdunnett]

Hello -

 

I need a setup to allow me to open my browser of choice (ecosia, which is not browser one can shoose in the browser selction) and then be able to add a specific search term.

 

The "search in Wikipedia" is exaclty what calculationI ant, buyt want the replace Wikipeda as the source with ecosia.org.

Thanks.

Welcome @kdunnett,

 

Open Alfred, paste the following URL, then press ↩. It will ask you to add the custom search. You can then edit it in the preferences.

 

alfred://customsearch/Ecosia/e/utf8/nospace/https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=%7Bquery%7D

Excellent! that worked. 

 

Now, a second step (if it is possible) can I add in a search string for a specific term - as you can do in a google search?

Please clarify the question. Do you want all searches to have the same text is them? If so, edit the search and edit the URL with words separated by +. Example: https://www.ecosia.org/search?q={query}+my+fixed+query.

Sorry - what I mean is that I would like to be able to type in Alfred a prompt for ecosia (or firefox, opera, etc.) and in that same prompt, be able to type in the search term I am looking for, like this:

 

(using e' as the browser prompt), all with this in the same alfred window:

 

"e' best butterfly shrubs (or any other search term)" 

 

 

We can already do this with google - typing g space and "best butterfly shrubs" 

 

Sorry - hope this is clearer - this fourm is great!

That is how it works. But the prompt is just the letter e without the ' character.

 

To change it, edit as per the page previously linked.
