Describe the feature you'd like

Hi, I really like karakeep so far. I had the idea that for bookmarks like search engines (google, brave, ...), for shopping sites, for asset and media search, for LLMs and many more pages, it would be great if there was a page where I can enter a search term, and then it uses the search params of these bookmarks for links to the search pages. This would enable quickly switching between search engines.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

With this, it would be possible to go to a new sektion for these "search" bookmarks and enter what you're looking for, and then all bookmarks get prefilled with the search term.
For example, if you search for a forest wallpaper, you enter this in karakeep and it'll list google, unsplash, pinterest and other bookmarks and you only need to click on them to see the results of this page. Or if you search for an icon, you could add all icon pack websites, search and see quickly compare the results.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No, i did not found any other page that does something similar to this.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

I thought this would be really great as I find myself always switching between all those search engines and AIs and most of the time I enter the question in ChatGPT but remember before sending it, that it may be better to search this one on perplexity. Or search images on brave, then switch to unsplash.

This would also be great as a browser default page as entrypoint. Like enter search term, then select search engine or select a bookmark matching the search term.

I would really like to have this feature in karakeep, maybe I have the time to contribute some time, and I hope this feature fits in the mission for karakeep!

Never mind, I just found out that there are bangs in brave search for almost any website already! I didn't know this existed. But as a visual selection or for even more websites, this would maybe still be more user friendly than bangs.

As I understand correctly your Issue is solved?
In that case, please just close it. Otherwise, please specify your issue a bit more. Best with some examples ;-)
