I made a Garmin Dev custom google search

Bo over 3 years ago

Hey all,

I got annoyed with google results showing me non-developer topics when searching connectiq related development stuff.

Google has a neat feature called Programmable Search Engines, so I made one that searches the dev forums and the official docs, and threw it into cloudflare pages.

Feel free to use it, I found it super useful!

https://garmindev.pages.dev/

And to add it as a custom search engine in chrome / keyword bookmark in firefox, it accepts query keywords using the standard ?q=
(%s being the query string)

https://garmindev.pages.dev/?q=%s

Enjoy!

Why not use the search (the magnifying glass) at the top of the forum page?

That works, I just wanted something that searches here, the official developer docs, and the api docs, all in one. I used to just have a tab open on each and searched from there.

And it's easy enough to share this so figured I would - there might be other people who like similar workflows :)

Right now, with both the 4.0.x and 4.1.x SDKs, understand what you see on the web is for 4.0, and for new stuff, you want to use the doc in the SDK instead.
