I have grown used to searching the internet with the help of the search site:reddit.com command. However, I’m looking for a more convenient method to search across all popular Lemmy instances without the need to manually copy and paste the following query every time: (site:lemmy.world OR site:lemmy.ml OR site:beehaw.org OR site:feddit.de OR site:sh.itjust.works OR site:lemmy.one OR site:lemmy.ca). Is there a more user-friendly approach to perform these searches? Alternatively, is there a comprehensive instance list available that I can easily copy to my clipboard and utilize within a script to obtain the formatted output for the search? Any suggestions or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

      Could something like this be developed into a browser extension? You search in the extension and it does this for you in your preferred search engine?

        There are many different search engines and doing an extension that works for all is probably very complex, so I doubt it.
