Just learned there was a new Google udm code discovered. So you know what I had to do.

https://udm56.com/

Still kicking in on the DNS front, but it’s already up.

Edit: https://udm14.com still works too, this is just an alternative view.

@ernie any idea if there's a local way to do this? I'm wondering about a browser plugin or something

@pixelpusher220 It’s an easy tweak if you’re on chrome—you can add it to the browser yourself. The basic format looks like this. You can add this yourself. Safari doesn’t support this though, sadly.

There is a search.xml on the site for autodetection, but it doesn’t seem to be kicking in on Firefox yet.

@pixelpusher220 I do plan on opening up the code for this as I did udm14.com
@ernie @pixelpusher220 is there a eli5 for udm14 and udm56 or udm in general?
@ernie 'add it to the browser' meaning some other way than just typing it in the url as pictured?

@pixelpusher220 Yes, you can add custom search engines to your browser. That URL is the code you would need to put into Chrome or Vivaldi. Here’s how I do it in Vivaldi.

My post from last year explains the process: https://tedium.co/2024/05/17/google-web-search-make-default/

@pixelpusher220 I originally built this as a way so people who aren’t tech-savvy could use these search engines without going into settings or installing extensions.

@ernie This is how I created the search from the browser bar. One can set it as default or start and search with UDM from the bar @pixelpusher220

Code is also in the alt text for the URL
