Alternatives

Projects similar to Trovu.

Yubnub

  • It is also open source, under the MIT license.
  • No custom (personal) shortcuts are possible.
  • Multiple arguments require more typing (-optionname argument).
  • English-centric: Dictionaries only from/to English. Trovu solves this with namespaces.
  • Yubnub processes queries on the server (so you share all your searches with them). Trovu processes entirely in your browser.

DuckDuckGo

  • It is a full web search engine,
  • but it also offers so-called !bangs.
  • Those bangs can only take 1 argument.
  • To add or edit them, you have to contact their support team.
