Strip search keywords from search

[lnxbil]

Hi there,

I'd like to know if it is possible to strip the search keyword from the search before running it. I just created wiki as type and want to search foobar, which works, but it also searchs for wiki foobar. A simple strip of the type from the search field before appending to the url would really help me. I know that I can type the search word, navigate to the correct search entry and then type again, but that takes more time than just typing wiki foobar.

Does this sound like something that could be added? (I'm no JS programmer, so I'm VERY unfamiliar with all the tooling and React)

Best,
LnxBil

@lnxbil Hey sorry for taking a while to get to this, can you give me an example of the problem? probably a small screen recording or screenshots to help me understand the problem?

Sorry if I explained it not well enough:

I like to have some functionality that if I plug in wiki: bla (or wiki bla) in the input field, the term bla is searched in the search engine defined as wiki. It is much faster than typing bla and selecting the search engine via the arrow keys, while wiki beeing at the bottom of a 10 search engines list.

Oh i love this feature. wiki bla might cause confusion if people want to search for bla in wiki but using the : to select the search engine is a neat idea. I'm quite busy with other projects at the moment to make this change but if you or someone else wants to contribute this change I'd be happy to support you in making it :) If not, i'll take a look at implementing this when i get the time. Thanks for the suggestion though!
