Hey free software users,

I'm proud to announce my first Abrowser/Firefox add-on - Ecphoneme. It
was inspired by DuckDuckGo !bang commands. It allows you to search
websites directly with few extra keywords, but without DuckDuckGo. For
example:

!sp search with startpage
!spi search startpage images
!d search with duckduckgo
!w search wikipedia

and so no.

For a first release it supports a limited amount of websites that I
(might) use, but part of the roadmap for the next releases is to add
more websites.

It is of course free software licensed under the terms of the GNU Affero
GPL version 3 or later.

As usual, any feedback is welcomed.

You can achieve similar functionality by assigning keywords to search engines added to Abrowser/Firefox in "Manage Search Engines" after clicking on the current search engine icon in the search box.

True, but that means that I will need a search engine extension for
every site I want. Not all websites have such search engine extension,
although it is not hard to write one.

This is mainly educational project for me - learning Mozilla addon SDK
while creating something useful for my habits. :)
