@freezr, thank you for the notes

This is pretty cool, if you use an http proxy like:
stargate.gemi.dev:1994
You can create a bookmark in Lagrange like:
http://frogfind.com/?q=
And make your WWW searches directly through Lagrange... 😏
@stack I struggled for years to understand how to elude tethering throttling, but eventually I found the way to mix dozens of incorrect blogs and get the right recipe... fuck useless and fake web articles... 🖕
I was wrong the trick does not work... 😞
You must type manually:
http://frogfind.com/?q={$query}
And press enter... Perhaps if @skyjake is going to implementat multiple engines searching in Lagrange it would be possible switch to services like "frogfind" to search on the WWW with Lagrange and an HTTP proxy seamlessly... 🙏

@freezr You can already do that (with one small caveat) using the text snippet feature added in Lagrange v1.17.
http://frogfind.com/?q=
!f hello world
The only problem is that the appended string will have a question mark at the beginning even though the snippet content already contains the "?q=" part. It seems to work but I'll need to clean that up in the future.
@skyjake you're a genius! 🙇
@skyjake so far I've found one browser that the extra '?' breaks. other than that the proxy x snippet combo is perfect for what i need

The extra `?` issue has been fixed for the upcoming v1.18.
@skyjake awesome! 🤙
My Internet DSL connection is down and I have to use a surf-stick, with super-slow speed, until a service technican comes on Monday. Here you can see how Gemini shines. Fast page views, surfing etc. :-)
