Each selected engine opens in its own browser tab with your query pre-filled in the URL. No APIs, no CORS issues, no server — it's a client-side search launcher.

Usage
Basic search: Select a few engines, type your query, press Enter or click the search button. Each engine opens in a new tab.
Bulk selection: Use "Select all" / "Clear" per category. The selected engines bar shows everything you've picked across all categories.
Finding engines: Use the filter box in any category panel to search by name (e.g., type "duck" to find DuckDuckGo).
Popup blockers: The first tab always opens (browser considers it user-initiated). Remaining tabs stagger at 150ms intervals. If your browser blocks them, allow popups for the page — you'll see a toast notification with guidance.
Persistence: Your selections save to localStorage automatically. Clearing browser data resets them.

FAQ
Why do some tabs get blocked? Browsers limit how many popups a single click can open. SearchHub staggers them at 150ms intervals which helps, but aggressive blockers may still catch some. Allow popups for the site to fix this.
Why not aggregate results on one page? Browser CORS restrictions prevent fetching results from other domains client-side. A server-side proxy would work but defeats the goal of a single static file with no backend.
Can I add my own engines?
Yes — edit the ENGINE_DATA object in the <script> block. Add entries in the format:
{ name: "Engine Name", url: "https://example.com/search?q=", desc: "Short description" },
The URL should end at the query parameter so SearchHub can append the search term.
Do favicons load from external sources?
Yes, from google.com/s2/favicons. If you're fully offline, favicons won't load but everything else works fine.
Contributing
Issues and PRs welcome. To add engines, edit the ENGINE_DATA object and ensure no duplicate URLs exist across categories.
