A web tool for displaying search results from multiple sources at the same time

To add a search engine / dictionary / lookup tool, enter its results page URL, replacing the query with %s. For example, https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s

You can save/share sets of searches via the URL. Some example presets:

How it works

This uses iframes to load results from specified URLs. For security reasons, some sites do not allow embedding[1]. This means that this tool will not work with Google, DuckDuckGo, MDN Web Docs, Cambridge Dictionary, Forvo, or YouGlish, just to name a few useful examples.

For security reasons, browsers do not allow http pages to be loaded on https pages[2]. If you want to use this with an http site, you can do so by running this locally – just download index.html and open it in your browser.
