to paste/type immediately
\@danielsgriffin via Twitter on Feb 1, 2022
Loading a page to search I aim to paste/type immediately, which needs the cursor in the search box.
works:
B, DDG, Ecosia, G, Neeva, SS, You, etc.
web.archive.org
WorldCat
does NOT work*:
lib.berkeley.edu (?!)
openlibrary.org
archive.org
Github.com doesn't paste, and doesn't show a blinking cursor, but it does put typed characters (after using the 's' shortcut\*\*) into the search box.
Stack Overflow doesn't have the cursor in the box, and also forces (those not logged in) into a CAPTCHA flow.\*\*\*
\_\_\_
\* These each do use OpenSearch Query Syntax(?) that enables search from the address bar.
\** I stumbled on this, tapping frustrated, then confirmed.
\*** You must "Enable keyboard shortcuts" with a profile via settings to enable 's' to focus on the search box in Stack Overflow.
