One‑Click Multi‑Engine Search with a Wox Plugin to Boost Research Efficiency
The article introduces a custom Wox plugin that aggregates searches across Baidu, Bing, Sogou, WeChat public accounts, and Zhihu, allowing users to trigger simultaneous queries with a single command, thereby streamlining the research workflow and reducing repetitive mouse clicks.
It is well known that different search engines display results differently for the same query.
When conducting thematic research, the author prefers to search on Baidu, Bing, Sogou, and WeChat public accounts to gather comprehensive information.
Method 1: Search each engine individually, which requires opening the browser and clicking bookmarks for each search page.
This approach is cumbersome because it involves multiple mouse operations.
Method 2: Use the "Web Search" plugin in Wox, configuring each search URL separately, but still needing to trigger each keyword manually.
To simplify the process, the author developed a Wox plugin that supports configurable URLs and enables one‑click multi‑engine search.
Method 3: Wox plugin – aggregated search!
After installing the plugin, typing s followed by a space in Wox activates the feature.
Pressing Enter then opens the query simultaneously on all configured search engines, offering a highly convenient experience.
Currently supported engines are:
Baidu
Bing
Sogou
WeChat public accounts
Zhihu
