Quick search the community using a search engine

Hi everyone,

let's be honest the search option is more of an autocomplete. Nothing wrong with this since you can still get some useful information. Nevertheless, I prefer searching this site using a major search engine. Since I don't like to do repetitive tasks I put together some JavaScript which speeds this up and can be executed on any (public) site by clicking on a bookmark.

Unfortunately gifs aren't allowed so I attached a screenshot:
1: Search results from the community
2: Executing the JavaScript
3: Selecting the path with which the results should start, whole community or only forum entries.
4: Entering search phrase
5: Results are displayed in a new tab


If someone is interested, here are the details how to set this up and decide which search engine should be used.:
