User-Defined Web Site Searches and Command Aliases in USCL

If you have a particular site you like to search frequently but it's not a part of USCL (yet), then you can add it yourself. It's easy. But not terribly easy.

Create a file called uscl.json on the root directory of the USB Drive partition of your device. That would be /media/internal/uscl.json if you're connected on a shell.

An example uscl.json file is available.

This mechanism also allows you to define command aliases. See the last example, "groceries", in uscl.json.

Note that syntax is strict JSON! This means, among other things:

• no comments
• no trailing comma after the last property–value pair of an object
• no trailing comma after the last element in an array
• all property names must be in double-quotes
