Ernie SmithIt’s alive. https://udm14.com
I included a link to @ActionRetro’s FrogFind, TenBlueLinks, and one of @ben’s ShareOpenly links.
I built this in like an hour.

Good news! udm14 now supports OpenSearch, making it easy to add as a search engine in Firefox. Thank @xerz for adding it!

Mandar Vaze (desipenguin)@ernie @xerz @Vivaldi What do you know, "original" article has exact steps towards the end (Author also uses @Vivaldi)

I feel stupid now 🤦
@ernie Yes, I realized that (late)
1. Nice of you to boost my post, instead of pointing out that you already had the steps.
Thanks.
2. I now feel stupider 😢

Xerz 💗@ernie oooooo, let’s see how hard it is to implement an OpenSearch entry for it!
@ernie (for reference, I mean this OpenSearch, it lets you add your search engine natively into your browser)

https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/OpenSearch
Jeff Bridges@ernie FYI hitting enter eats the field without sending you to the search page. But clicking (or tab, enter) works great!
@ernie Also, (obviously) seems worth tagging @pluralistic in!
João S. O. Bueno@ernie went to it - but javascript for me is deny-listed by default - so after I typed my search, it just searched for "undefined" :-D
@gwidion try now
Metacurity@ernie This is so awesome. Thank you!
Heliomass has moved@ernie Perfection.
mikael@ernie Cool idea! https://www.startpage.com/ is another alternative 🙂
Fangh@ernie it actually gives me the same results as duck duck go. So duck duck go is the way to go :D

Colin B.🇨🇦@ernie I guarantee that they'll disable it eventually. Google can NOT leave functional improvements alone.

Thanks @dhobern for this one!
Donald HobernYou're welcome, but it's next to nothing, and it doesn't work on Android, but you can modify the Startpage instructions at https://support.startpage.com/hc/en-us/articles/4520868432788-Make-Startpage-your-default-search-engine-on-Firefox-mobile-Android to add one there.
It feels odd that it's not possible to create an Android addon that does this because the overrides are not supported there, but you can follow simple configuration steps to get the same result. Meanwhile, on Windows, you can't make a configured search engine the default. So the solution is different in each case.
Darwin Woodkanice. ty!
Daniel AJ Sokolov@ernie Does this work for you on any Android browser? I can't set a paramter in Chrome for Android, but I can in Firefox. However, I don't see any change in search results there. (It does work on Desktop.)
@newstik I had to be logged in for it to work in Chrome. I think the view hasn't fully propagated yet.
I use Vivaldi, which syncs my desktop searches to the mobile apps.

Jon@ernie brilliant!!!!
PV Prutting-Vogtareuth@ernie "The results are fascinating. It’s essentially #Google, minus the crap." They truly are. Almost unbelievable. – This is also in nearly perfect timing an excellent example for what @Mer__edith has said in #Hamburg: https://www.helmut-schmidt.de/aktuelles/detail/die-rede-der-zukunftspreistraegerin

@Fischkopp I linked it in the story that is linked on the site, thanks though
@newstik thank you!
Jacket@ernie It's nice that there is a way. Nowadays duckduckgo is not bad tho.
standev@ernie brilliant.
