No problem. I made a half baked replacement using the web app launcher plugin to open duckduckgo in a brave pwa. Thanks for the consideration

Also support custom search engines such as DuckDuckGo

also supports accessing through webview as well

We built and tested this feature early in the production of the preview feature.
And we stopped, here's why
- Flow Launcher is usually small in size, and the lack of freedom to switch window sizes makes for a bad browsing experience. When I tested fluent search, I also decided that the experience was not good.
- The design of each site is often not responsive to smaller screens.
- Basically, we (or rather I) don't want to make this tool a replacement for a file manager, or a replacement for a browser (it's too much functionality in this utilty. and it's hard to make it that way).
As a result, I think the only meaningful use of this feature is for searches like Wikipedia or Google, and the rendered form of the result items. I think you'll agree with me on this one. like this.
However, this approach requires source analysis for each site and maintenance for each site change, so we decided that we need a structure to build a server that renders these like BING search results in the start menu. (like MS and mac's spotlight. And we have no money, I'm writing this comment on a laptop from 8 years ago and I've been contributing to this project for 3 years and have never received a cent, which is why this feature will never be implemented).
I have a few ideas for this feature. For example.
- only a few major sites support this feature,
- users can add scrape code for specific sites separately.
- apart from this, certain manipulations will just open the webpage in the preview area.
...things like that.
It's a bit low priority at the moment (we have a lot of other work to do).
A few ideas came to mind as I was writing this, so let's explore them a bit more.
(Don't hold your breath, we're usually slow enough to take at least half a year to build a feature 😂).

This just opens a separate webapp like a shortcut right? Not in the actual flow launcher window?
