Hi,
I’m the developper of the Meta-Press.es addon:
It’s a simple meta-search engine fitted in a WebExtension. It allows to search through one thousand newspapers in the world, directly from the user’s browser, turning its computer into a decentralized search engine, with no ad, no tracking and only human-validated news sources.
So it’s an addon that directly provides a search engine feature, it is not redirecting to a third party online service.
I would like to list Meta-Press.es between DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia’s search engines that Firefox proposes. It would require to add the ‘moz-extension://’ pseudo-protocol to the accepted URLs when adding a new search engine. Currently it’s not the case and I’m stopped with the following message:
« That URL doesn’t look right. Use a URL that starts with http or https. »
While a URL like:
moz-extension:///html/index.html?q=%s&tech=one+word&tech=cherry-pick_sources&lang=fr&add_src_sel=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acrimed.org&submit=1
Would else allow to perform a search (here it’s a search in a single source to start with something).
Any hint about how, where and to whom present this idea would be welcome. I can dedicate office hours in video meetings to support it.
With regard,
