Great suggestion and it works more often than not.

Oh interesting, Startpage looks like it has access to Google’s image search dataset and possibly their crazy ass vector basesd mobius strip index system
Apologies if you already know this. Sharing because if you’re spending a lot of time searching a game wiki, this can be really convenient.
You can setup your browser for typing ‘@mistria juniper’ would bring up the wiki search page for everything related to that character.
disclaimer: I think Chromium can do this too
If you are often referring to a wiki, you can temporarily add it as a search engine to your browser’s internal location search bar.
With FireFox -> Settings -> Search -> “Add search engine” in the “Additional search engines”
I picked a random mistria wiki and the URL would be
https://fieldsofmistria.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s&go=Go&ns0=1 for searching.
For name ‘@mistria’ should be unique enough.
I got that by typing “test” in the search box to get this “https://fieldsofmistria.wiki.gg/wiki/Special:Search?search=Test&go=Go&ns0=1” just swap out the ‘Test’ for ‘%s’
Now press ctrl + l to focus on the location/search bar and type “@mistria juniper” to get an in wiki search results for everything related to that character.
One exception. if the url has something like ’nonce=a4F7DEF’ or other hex crap, it is probably not going to work and may get your IP temporarily blocked.
I have switched to DuckDuckgo and while their index is crap, it’s at least more crap than what Google has.
DuckDuckgo I believe leases the Bing engine so I am still trying others.
also now I am using the direct search engines for specific sites… eg ‘@wiki <my search query>’ to use Wikipedias onwn search.
i guess the problem with that is having to maintain the repository setup. they’re basically web servers with signed files.
That does solve one problem at the cost of a bunch of other potential problems.
Well duh of course it! Linux is at the cutting edge of future computing after all.
Unrelated, my ducking smart phone decided to autocorrect to that.
So I can see some uninformed exec with only a MBA deciding to put the keys to everything in one spot behind a data model that likes to do things like delete everything.
Nevermind having a single point of failure.

The French Gardia switched over to an in house Linux distro and now a lot of governments and companies are watching to see what happens.
I have a duel boot setup and it’s been a year since I had to boot into Win11. Seriously concerned with what is going to happen when I have to use it.
this sounds like a half ass attempt to do what what Edgerunners did with Cyberpunk.
