Other Search Engines module is customizable by JSON since 1.3.1. This change allow users to add themselves' search engines at will. However to those users who are not familiar to JavaScript, It's not easy to add a new search engine by this feature.

So I decide to list some widely used search engine's code in this post. But first of all, I would like introduce the format of the "search engine code"

There are 2 search engines in the google++ already, they are added by default as you can see:

{ name: "Yahoo", query: "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=" },
{ name: "Bing", query: "http://www.bing.com/search?q=" }
Each line of code describes a Search Engine: One search engine is in a pair of curly brackets, the string after the "name:" is the name to display, and the string after the "query:" is the search URL of the search engine. Notice that one search engine is always ended with a ",(comma)" except the last one, or we can say: search engines are always split by a ",".

So if you wanna add a Cuil search engine, you could simply copy the following code to the end of the code in "Other search engines"'s text box. But before that you should always remember to add a comma mark at the end of the code.

Feel free to ask code here if you can't find the search engine you want.

Search Engines:

  • Cuil: { name: "Cuil", query: "http://www.cuil.com/search?q=" }
  • eBay: { name: "eBay", query: "http://shop.ebay.com/?_nkw=" }
  • Amazon: { name: "Amazon", query: "http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=" }
  • Baidu: { name: "Baidu", query: "http://www.baidu.com/s?ie=utf-8&wd=" }

@bumino
It seems the code you provided is not working any more. now the youtube search code is
{ name: "YouTube", query: "http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=" }
