How to modify {url} with REGEX about contextsearch-web-ext

[ssborbis]

That might be best done with a Script-type vs an Engine-type. You're only grabbing the icon from the current page, correct? Thus, the {url} param?

New Script

window.open(location.origin + "/favicon.ico", '_blank');

you could actually fancy that up and trigger a download directly I think

Add a new entry to the search engines manager, a NEW SCRIPT not a new engine

Oh, I know why, script engine doesn't affect on page element.

{url} is not modified, nor is any other template param besides %s or {searchTerms}

Is this for a search engine or an app launcher?

Can you walk me through your workflow as to why you'd need to modify the current tab's url? I'll see if there's a workaround.

I use it to get the favicon, like this ➡️ https://github.com/favicon.ico

I tried {subdomain} or {domain} ➡️ {subdomain}/favicon.ico
but it got this result ➡️ chrome-extension://ddippghibegbgpjcaaijbacfhjjeafjh/github.com/favicon.ico

So I can only use this template ➡️
https://{subdomain}/favicon.ico or http://{subdomain}/favicon.ico

However, I found that using google's icon service doesn't have strict requirements on URL, so this {url} can be used directly.

So this is for an app launcher? I'm still not 100% sure what you're doing. Downloading the favicon?

This script will open a new tab, how to open favicon page only.

In place of the current website?

window.location = location.origin + "/favicon.ico";
