  4. Click "Create repository" (Leave other settings as default).
  5. There's a blue area: "Quick setup" that says "Get started by creating a new file". Click "creating a new file".
  6. Name the file "search.txt".
  7. Add links in the following format (spaces are allowed, just ensure a colon separates the label from the URL):
    • Label:URL
    • Example: "Google:http://google.com" (you can skip "http://").
  8. To create a search link, use the '$' symbol to represent the search query. For example:
    • "Google search:https://www.google.com/search?q=$"
    This allows users to type their query after selecting the Google label from the suggestions.
