NEW! Filter search engines by keywords

SkyScarf — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 00:29:59 +0000

You can now filter all the available search engines at SkyScarf through the text box at Filters, just above the categories. Just type in the name of the search engines (i.e. “youtube”) or any keywords (ie. “videos” or “dictionary”).

Faviconizing the buttons!

Great news!

In order to improve the usability of SkyScarf and make it clearer for everyone to find his favourite search engine we have added a little icon at the left of the buttons.

Buttons have a little icon at the left of the text now

Most of the icons have been gathered from the current favico in the web service and the rights of the image are reserved to them. Icons for Vimeo, Delicious, YouTube, StumbleUpon and some more are great designs by Komodo Media.

Prefix autodetection super feature!

You don’t need to remember prefixes anymore!

From now on, SkyScarf will guess the most relevant search engine when you don’t type in an existing one.

Just type in the dot (”.”) to let SkyScarf know you are searching a specific search engine, a single word for the search engine name and your query. Some examples:

```
.sk david bowie
```
```
.skre david bowie
```
```
.skreemr david bowie
```

All of them will search for David Bowie songs in Skreemr.

We suggest you to try it with the OpenSearch feature (it is amazingly efficient). Let us know if you like it or if you have any issues with this and we will help.

Add your favourite search engines

While we keep working on adding new features to SkyScarf if you think there’s a nice search engine missing in the list, just post it at the comments or send us an e-mail and we will review it. If it is approved (will mostly do) we will publish it and make it visible to everyone plus give you credit on it.

Oh, and we are also open for new ideas or ways of improving SkyScarf. Every good piece of feedback is appreciated and in some cases rewarded!

From the latest news on SkyScarf development to the latest curious facts about how users manage search engines.

The latest feature in SkyScarf is the “filter by search engine type” and the possibility to remember your preferences during the session. We will soon create the User Settings page with tons of customizable stuff to make your Internet search a better experience.
