Description

CyberSearch is a Rainmeter search bar suite that's both elegant and functional.

Features:
- Google, Reddit and YouTube search bars are included
- Expandable to just about any search engine out there
- Light and dark modes (double click the search bar icon to change)
- Compact design
- Ability to view your 5 most recent search results, unique to each individual search bar

To create a new search bar:
1. Open the skin's folder. By default, it's C:\Users\(yourUserName)\Documents\Rainmeter\CyberSearch
2. Copy/paste one of the premade folders and give it a name
3. Open the new folder and double-click Search.ini
    - If prompted, open the file with Notepad
4. Scroll down to the search settings
5. Change engineName to the name of your search engine of choice
6. Find and download an (ideally transparent background) icon for your search engine
7. Copy the path of the downloaded image with Shift Right-Click > Copy as path
8. Paste the copied path in the file after engineIcon
9. Open the search engine you would like to use and search for something
10. Copy the URL of your search and paste it back into the file after engineURLQuery=
11. Replace every occurrence of your search text in the URL with {q}.
12. Once your edits are complete, save the file with Ctrl + S
13. Open Rainmeter from your system tray and reload all skins
14. Select your new search bar under CyberSearch in Rainmeter and load it
