CREATE SEARCH PAGE
Follow these steps to create your personalized search page:
- Get an account at github.com.
- Create a new repository at: https://github.com/new (Repo must be on branch "main" NOT gh-pages).
- Name repository "mylinksaw".
- Click "Create repository" (Leave other settings as default).
- There's a blue area: "Quick setup" that says "Get started by creating a new file". Click "creating a new file".
- Name the file "search.txt".
- 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://").
- 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.
- For the default links that Linksaw uses click here
- After you are done adding links, click "Commit changes" (Changes may take a few minutes to take effect).
- Visit githubusername.linksaw.com to use your personalized links.
HAPPY SEARCHING
