Introduction

This Tampermonkey script enhances your search engine usage by modifying URLs in the search result of search engines, redirecting to alternative sites. Allows a more customized and efficient browsing experience.

URL modification uses Regular Expression.

Search result without URL modification:
img:searxng_search_result_example-with_modification
Search result after URL modification:
img:searxng_search_result_example-with_modification

Search Engine Support

You can manually add more custom DOM selector to support other search engines.

Can't support Bing, because it only provide intermediate links.

Built-in Redirection

You can add more custom redirection rules into the script yourself.

Remember to backup your own settings, in case updates will overwrite all the changes. Or, you could create an issue on GitHub to commit your own settings, and I will add them into this script.

Other alternatives privacy friendly frontends, see:


TODO

  1. Add supports for more search engines.
  2. Refactor the code to make it easier to read and modify.
