### Move Selection |
|
|
|
You can move your selection up and down with the arrow keys. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Search |
|
|
|
If there are no matching links, a search will be performed with your query. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Quick Search |
|
|
|
If you paste while the input is empty, fuzzyhome will immediately make a search with your pasted query. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Bangs |
|
|
|
You can easily append queries to arbitrary links, and as such use them in a similar manner as the "bang" feature from some search engines. |
|
|
|
Just get the query link for a website and create a link with that url. For example: |
|
|
|
There may be some websites you've created links for, such as amazon, where you almost always search for something. |
|
|
|
This means you have to go to that website, click the search bar, and type in your query. |
|
|
|
With fuzzyhome you can cut out the slow parts by prefixing your link name with `!` to create a "bank link": |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
!amazon amazon.com/s?k= |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
y https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query= |
|
|
|
Notice the `/s?k=` at the end, |
|
|
|
you'll likewise have to find the proper URL for your new bang link. |
|
|
|
Typing instructions for that would be too verbose, so please see the video tutorial (coming soon). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you click on or press return on a selected bang link, |
|
|
|
instead of navigating directly to that link, |
|
|
|
you'll be able to enter a search query for that link. |
|
|
|
Pressing enter again will bring you to the link with your encoded search query appended to it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Effective Names |
|
|
|
After using fuzzyhome enough, you may come to realize |
|
|
|
that there are some links you'd prefer be "hardcoded" |
|
|
|
with certain names so to speak. |
|
|
|
For example, perhaps you visit `instagram` extremely often |
|
|
|
but also have a link named `indeed` which gets sorted above |
|
|
|
`instagram` when you type `in` even though you visit it much less often. |
|
|
|
You could change the `instagram` link's name to `in`, |
|
|
|
but now it looks bad. |
|
|
|
To solve this, fuzzyhome allows you to add an "effective name" |
|
|
|
to a link: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
This will create a link named `y`. |
|
|
|
Now all you have to do is press `tab` when the `y` link is selected. |
|
|
|
In practice you'll just type `y<tab>`. |
|
|
|
This will allow you to start typing a query which will be appended onto the url of that link. |
|
|
|
To navigate to the link, just press `return` or click the link. |
|
|
|
To cancel, just press `tab` again. |
|
|
|
instagram ~in instagram.com |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
To add an effective name to a link, |
|
|
|
simply add the name prefixed with a tilde right before the URL. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This also works for bang links. |
|
|
|
Let's say we wanted `a` to correspond to `!amazon`: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
!amazon ~a amazon.com/s?k= |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
Now when you type `in` or `a`, |
|
|
|
you can have confidence that your |
|
|
|
intended link will be given priority every time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mind you, typing `am` will no longer show `amazon` in the results, |
|
|
|
because that's just the display name for the link. |
|
|
|
The actual name is `a`. |
|
|
|
This might seem confusing but once you |
|
|
|
get the hang of it won't matter to you at all. |
|
|
|

## FAQ |

|
### The Link I Want Is Showing Up Last |
|
|
|
TLDR either rename the desired link to something shorter or the undesired link to something longer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fuzzyhome doesn't use an algorithm that attempts to be intelligent about which links it ranks first because |
|
|
|
having a more predictable behavior lets you work faster since you know it will do the same thing every single time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The search results are first filtered on character order. |
|
|
|
If the characters of a given link name are not in the same order as the query, that link will be excluded from the results. |
|
|
|
So if I have a link named `messenger` and I type `mgs`, |
|
|
|
`messenger` will be excluded from the results because the `g` does not come before the `s`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fuzzy search [algorithm](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy/blob/master/ALGORITHM.md) |
|
|
|
prioritizes shorter strings and strings whose words begin with the letters of the query. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With those factors in mind, if you encounter a situation where a certain link you access less often is showing up in search results on top of |
|
|
|
a link you access much more often, such as `mpv` showing up on top of a desired link `messenger`, |
|
|
|
either lengthen `mpv`'s name to something like `_mpv`, or shorten `messenger`'s name to something like `m`. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With either of these solutions, typing `m` will always result in the desired link showing up first. |
|
|
|
That will be the behavior every single time, regardless of which link you accessed more recently, |
|
|
|
what time of day it is, or some other random variable. |
|
|
|
Change the effective name of the link. |
|
|
|
Let's say you've been typing `in` for `instagram`, but recently added `indeed` as a link, |
|
|
|
and `indeed` keeps showing up first. |
|
|
|
Simply change the effective name of the `instagram` link to `in`: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
instagram ~in instagram.com |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### A Link Is Blocking My Search |
|
|
|
This happens very rarely if at all. Just throw some spaces at the end of your query. |
