Credits

Aditya Mukerjee I have been using his Firefox addon for some time and it gave me the idea for the buttons. I also used his code as a starting point for adding the buttons to the search result. DuckDuckGo.com for icons, !bangs and their awesome search engine.

Possible improvements

  • Add custom buttons and links by providing a !bang and title.
  • Custom sort order of buttons.
  • Custom sort links in context menu.
  • Add buttons to other search engines like Google.
