want a search engine landing page made by a shark? https://suricrasia.online/search provides links to a variety of search engines and also gives wikipedia and marginalia search results

I made this because I want to be able to:

  1. pick a search engine after I type in my query, instead of picking it first with address bar prefixes—this also allows me to press the back button and pick a different engine if the one I picked first doesn't give what I want
  2. get wikipedia results quicky (a large percentage of what I search is just me wanting to see the wiki article)
  3. see marginalia results before I fallback on my preferred search engine, because sometimes there is good stuff there

this is my preferred search engine thingy nowadays, can confirm is good, although i did have to write a hacky userscript to add Qwant support because i'm too lazy to selfhost a fork :P

in reply to @blackle's post:

the actual page is vanilla js, so that's pretty much the source. the scripts I'm running that actually do the wikipedia/marginalia requests on the server side are private because I don't really want the source known, as there may be some obscure vulnerability in the way I'm doing it. I know security through obscurity is bad but I'm just one shark 😔

all those scripts do is make a request and send the body back
