Description

Summary

Add a webpage with a dedicated URL that shows react.dev search results (e.g. https://react.dev/search?q=searchTerm)

Details

I'd like to be able to set up a search engine "bang" that searches react.dev, but there doesn't seem to be a URL that you can go to directly that will perform a search. I plan to add react.dev to the global Kagi bangs repository if this gets added.

  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing search modal and the site's routing entry points. Trace how the current search query is handled, then define the dedicated search URL behavior described in the issue. Done means a URL such as /search?q=searchTerm directly displays react.dev search results and supports the requested Kagi bang use case.
