WebSearch Plugin

WebSearch lets you run web searches with keyword shortcuts and a default fallback engine.

What it does

  • Keyword-based search engines
  • Default fallback search when no keyword matches
  • Selected-text search (uses fallback engines)
  • Auto-fetch icons for engines

Quick start

Wox Launcher
→ Search with the default engine

g Wox Launcher
→ Search with Google

Settings

Add engines in WebSearch settings:

  • Keyword: shortcut (e.g., g)
  • Title: display name
  • URL(s): use {query} placeholder
  • Enabled: show or hide the engine
  • Default: used when no keyword matches

URL variables

  • {query} original text
  • {lower_query} lowercase
  • {upper_query} uppercase

Multi-URL engine

If you provide multiple URLs, Wox opens them in sequence.

Notes

  • Selected-text search only shows fallback engines.
  • If nothing shows up, check Enabled and Default settings.
