Summary

Define and query search engines

Commentary

`engine-mode' is a global minor mode for Emacs. It enables you to easily
define search engines, bind them to keybindings, and query them from the
comfort of your editor.

For example, suppose we want to be able to easily search GitHub:

(defengine github
  "https://github.com/search?ref=simplesearch&q=%s")

This defines an interactive function `engine/search-github'. When executed it
will take the selected region (or prompt for input, if no region is selected)
and search GitHub for it, displaying the results in your default browser.

The `defengine' macro can also take an optional key combination,
prefixed with "C-x /":

(defengine duckduckgo
  "https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s"
  :keybinding "d")

`C-x / d' is now bound to the new function
engine/search-duckduckgo'! Nifty.
