TooLong

A redirect-based search engine that provides useful shortcuts to sites.

TooLong is powered by a service worker, which intercepts queries to the TooLong site and processes any commands, redirecting you to the most relevant site that you need.

Usage

Setup

To set up, add this link as a search engine in your favourite browser. To make it more convenient, set TooLong as your default search engine.

https://tcgj.github.io/toolong?search=%s

Fallback

When performing a standard search, TooLong defaults to DuckDuckGo. To change this, include an additional fallback query parameter in the link. The specified search engine will be set as the default fallback search engine.

e.g.

https://tcgj.github.io/toolong?fallback=google&search=%s

Available fallback options:

- google
- duckduckgo

Warning A fallback that is set will remain even if the parameter is removed. To reset to DuckDuckGo, explicitly set a fallback to duckduckgo instead.

Commands

The list of commands available can be found on https://tcgj.github.io/toolong.

Search away!

Using your search bar, type in any query or command, and watch TooLong do its magic!

Development

Running locally

yarn develop

TooLong will be served at http://localhost:9000?search=%s.

Building TooLong

If you want to build TooLong on your own, run:

yarn install && yarn build

Then serve the generated dist/ folder on your server. The search engine will be located at:

<<Your server origin>>?search=%s

For example:

https://www.myportfolio.com?search=%s
