Set it before Oh My Zsh is sourced, +with the following format: + +```zsh +ZSH_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINES=( +    <context> <URL> +    <context> <URL> +) +``` + +where `<context>` is the name of the search context, and `<URL>` a URL of +the same type as the search contexts above. For example, to add `reddit`, +you'd do: + +```zsh +ZSH_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINES=(reddit "https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=") +``` + +These custom search engines will also be turned to aliases, so you can +both do `web_search reddit <query>` or `reddit <query>`. |
