Browser integration

<< Back

First, what is browser integration with our search and why would you want it?

The short answer is that from anywhere on the web you could type pb+SPACE and then enter a search term which searches our podcasts and their full transcripts instantly.

The longer answer can be found in an essay by Michael called Use Custom Search Engines Way More

Choose your browser

Search URLs

Search: https://search.pythonbytes.fm/web/search?q=%s
Suggest: https://search.pythonbytes.fm/api/suggest?q=%s

Unfortunately, set up for each browser is its own adventure. So pick yours to see the instructions:

Vivaldi

Open settings -> search. Then click the + to enter a new search engine. Add the search and suggest URLs from above. Pick a shortcut, we're using pb. This is what you'll type in the address bar to trigger a search.

Chrome

To add our search to Chrome, open Settings -> Search Engine.
Then, choose Manage search engines and site search. Then go to Site search and enter the search URL (suggestions not an option here).

Brave

To add our search to Brave, open Settings -> Search Engine.
Then, choose Manage search engines and site search. Then go to Site search and enter the search URL (suggestions not an option here).

Safari

Safari will autodetect the search settings from visiting pythonbytes.fm. Once you've visited the root of our site, you should see under Settings -> Search -> Enable Quick Website Search, there you should see Python Bytes.

Firefox

To add "Python Bytes" as a search provider:

1. Go to https://pythonbytes.fm
2. Right-click on the search- or location-bar
3. There click on 'Add "Python Bytes"'

Depending on your preferences (see about:preferences#search) you then either type the search term into the "search-" or "location bar", where you can select "Python Bytes" at the bottom as the search engine.
