Kukei.eu integrations

Having cool web search engine is cool but if it doesn't work with any muscle memory then you'd always end up using your general use default search engine.

Here are some tips how to integrate kukei.eu in your daily work:

Firefox - add a shortcut

If you use Firefox as your main browser, you are lucky. Firefox has an amazing `opensearch` integration/UX.

Kukei.eu supports opensearch standard so once you visit the website once, you can configure an alias (e.g. @ku) which you can later use to search via kukei.eu instead of your default engine.

More information on how to configure it are available on Firefox website

Siri shortcut

For macOS users there's also a nice way to have kukei.eu always available, no matter what context.

You can use a Siri Shortcut that I prepared for you. Here's how to use it:

Install the shortcut on your Mac or iOS by clicking on this lik: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/fce...
If you prefer speaking or writing to Siri, you're done. Just say "Siri kukei" and then tell/write your search query
If you're a typing person like me, go to Shortcuts app, double click the `kukei` shortcut, click the small (i) icon and there you can add your own keyboard shortcut (I use ctr + option + k, doesn't conflict with anything)

Here's how it works in the end on macOS:

Alfred

If you're an Alfred user this url will add a kukei.eu shortcut to your settings.
