# Custom Search Engine Manager

CustomSearchEngineManager is a PowerShell script designed to help users add and manage custom search engines in Google Chrome or any other Browser. The script inserts a new custom search engine entry into Chrome's settings and includes commented code for developers who wish to customize it further.

## Features

- Add a custom search engine to Google Chrome.

- Customize search engine details such as name, keyword, favicon, and search URL.

## Requirements

- PowerShell

- PSSQLite module

## Installation

1. Install the PSSQLite module if you haven't already:

```bash

Install-Module -Name PSSQLite

```

2. Clone this repository to your local machine:

```bash

git clone https://github.com/tauseedzaman/Custom-Search-Engine-Manager

```

3. Usage

Open the script file `script.ps1` in a text editor.

Customize the search engine details as desired:

```powershell

# Define custom search engine information

$short_name = 'Ecosia'

$keyword = 'ecosia.or'

$favicon_url = 'https://www.ecosia.org/static/icons/favicon.ico'

$url = 'https://www.ecosia.org/search?method=index&q={searchTerms}'

$suggest_url = 'https://www.ecosia.org/suggest?q={searchTerms}'

$image_url = 'https://www.ecosia.org/images/search'

```
