About ME Search

ME Search is a lightweight search engine router that helps you search the web efficiently. It allows you to quickly switch between different search engines like Kagi, DuckDuckGo, and Google using "bang" shortcuts (e.g., !g for Google).

It also features "Snap" patterns (using @) to restrict your default search to specific sites. The interface is designed to be fast, privacy-friendly, and customizable with dark/light modes.

Bang Patterns (!)

Prefix a shortcut with ! to go directly to that site's search results.

!gh "react hooks" → Goes to GitHub search
!r "mechanical keyboards" → Goes to Reddit search
!yt "tutorials" → Goes to YouTube search

Snap Patterns (@)

Prefix a shortcut with @ to search only that site using your current default engine.

@gh "react hooks" → Searches GitHub for "react hooks"
@r "mechanical keyboards" → Searches Reddit
@yt "tutorials" → Searches YouTube
