I don't want to push any agenda involving distancing QS from Alcor. But I do think there are two aspects of the Web Search Module that stand to be improved:
1. I think the web search list on blacktree is bloated. In the version of the Web Search Module I have (from tiennou/blacktree-elements), there is the option to have two sources: the normal list and an "extended list". Perhaps there is a way to edit the web search lists on blacktree to take better advantage of this. Perhaps it would be better to switch to some other hosting (e.g., a github wiki) for these lists. 2. In the "Custom" sources section of the catalog, I can either add a "Web Search List"---adding urls one at a time---I can add a local html file filled with search links via the "File and Folder Scanner". It would be nice to add a "Web Page Scanner" that harvests links, including searches, from a remote html file. Then it would be easy for the community of users to share web search lists of all kinds. As for the wiki page I posted: perhaps the right thing to do instead is to fork blacktree-elements, create a branched version of the Web Search Module with the alternate Info.plist, and put the alternate web search page on the wiki of the github fork? I'm happy to do whatever the developers are most comfortable with.
