Show HN: Another search engine wrapper #42,360

https://instawarp.com/

This isn’t a 3B parameter miracle. It’s probably the 42,360th search wrapper, only because the first 42,359 didn’t fix my actual workflow. And partly because it was quicker to build my own wrapper than to search for others.

Why: I hop between different engines and paste typos just to grab the corrected term. Like 50 times a day for the last 15 years. But I want the correction before I hit Enter, because highlighting the search bar and hitting Ctrl + C causes my RSI to flair up.

What it does:

1) Pick a single or multiple engines per query (simple selector buttons).

2) Inline spell-correction right in the search bar; a full-search not needed.

3) One-click “copy” next to each corrected term (no more highlight → Ctrl+C yoga).

4) Saved search history for quick recall + copy for the times I am feeling dumb and needing to correct the same typos over and over again.

5) Yes, it has dark mode. Of course it does.

6) Super lightweight, loads as fast as Google, free, and intentionally boring in the best way.

I’d love feedback, usability rough edges, engines/shortcuts to add, and any “you know what would make this less annoying…” ideas.

That's nice. Fixing typos after hiting enter is annoying.

Yup. After the 15,00th time doing this myself I just decided to create new search engine wrapper.

I know Google will probably optimize their search bar to include this spell-check feature eventually.

This year I've been using ChatGPT for 30%-50% of my searches that would've typically gone to Google. So a shift if happening and people need to be able to search multiple engines at the same time -- or easily select between them with one click.

Google can never offer this type of multi-engine support.
